That’s great info. Thanks. Sounds like a 1tb ssd would fit the bill for my needs. It’ll be music only.
Not to beat the dead horse here but any particular brand names out there that are better than others quality wise in the ssd world?

They consistently get good reviews, and I haven't had cause for concern yet. I would read more recent shootouts to see what the state of the SSD world is. My two go-to sites are: AnandTechTom's HardwareIt seems like there are a lot of competitive options anymore.

Thanks CV. I’ll check those out. Appreciate it.
I’m really looking forward to organizing all my music and files and playlists finally. And getting a hard drive and CD rips done is a hefty component of that.

One thing I am constantly fighting, is song DB Gains. Automobiles do not have the tech to read a song and adjust sound DB, so the MP3's need to be leveled. I use another third party software to adjust DB levels. That's MP3 Gain. EZ CD Audio Converter has loudness normalization as a built-in feature, but I've never used it, so I can't say how effective it is. I thankfully don't have any devices in use anymore that makes me want a secondary format like MP3, but I can see the appeal of the multi-encode feature for those who still do. I sent a message to Poikosoft (EZ CD Audio Converter's developer) to suggest the feature. Thanks Charles. I'll have to give that software a try. I was surfing their website and the software looks a lot simpler to use than DB PowerAmp, but has as much, if not more functionality.

Oh, definitely let me know what you think. I tried dBpoweramp way back in the day, but it was more than I wanted to wrestle with at the time. I'm not sure how it is now, but it will be interesting to hear your comparison. I'm sure there are pieces of EZ CD Audio Converter that aren't very intuitive, but I'm used to using it.

It's on my list of things to do. It will require some bigger changes to the user interface but I look forward to try it."

Cool. I bought and downloaded the "package" and have been clicking on the menus, taking it for a spin. I think I'm going to like using it.

Agree with this. That’s a bargain. If I came across that I’d jump it. I suppose it’s all relative to your income but I’d say that’s a great deal in general terms. If possible confirm all the drivers are operational first and have a quick listen. But if it’s just cosmetic issues then I’d say go for it. Maybe get a reason why he / she is selling.
