A minor nit, the flac compression control is for controlling how long the encoded tries to squash the bits. Higher setting take lots longer and only yield a modest amount of additional compression. Its all "flac compression" and easy to expand. > Offsite is best. This is cheap, fast and convenient.

I dispense with the backup disk, and consider my 800+ CDs as backup. But I would rather not have to reextract and recompress them -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
