1. I want FLAC lossless on my Transporter. Lossy compression is perceptible (although some of the lossy codec like AAC are getting darn close). Currenlty with a small number of exceptions that means CDs (YAY Linn Records, if we can get the to change from WMA to FLAC). 2. I do not want DRM. CDs are DRM free. True some online downloads are DRM free but see (1). 3. I want control of my backups in my hands. I have owned CDs since they first came out. I will think about leaving my valuable data with an online organization when that organization has existed for a similar amount of time. And I love my transporter. The Transporter has caused me to start buying CDs again. -- Eric Carroll Transporter-Bryston 3B SST-Paradigm Reference Studio 60 v.4 SB3-Rotel RB890-B&W Matrix 805 SB3-Pioneer VSX-49TXi-Mirage OM7+C2+R2 ReadyNAS NV+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Carroll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9293 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32969 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
