Tom, your post is the best advice thus far for someone just starting to get into setting up a music/computer playback system.

Brilliant advice and this will keep me busy for a while! I definitely should purchase a dedicated drive just for this purpose. I will probably burn it out with such intensive use.

I'm very excited about digitizing my vinyl collection though...

Amen!

That is a subject unto itself.

How do most of you back up huge music/video libraries? Raid array? Software applications that mirror hard drives?
