I have no direct experience, but moot a couple of caveats: - 300GB is probably not enough, if you use FLACs. I would check with them to ensure that the HD can be changed
- How easy can it be to change the tags? My brother-in-law has a Sony machine that ripped all his music in (to ATRAC, I think), nice and automatic. It works, but he has no easy way to change the tags how he wants them. This is fine for pop music, but a nightmare for classical. So the overall point is that this 'easier' solution (that the Transporter, say) may not be as good a long-term solution. My general comments about McIntosh is that it's good equipment, both sonically and build-wise, but not cheap. You don't go too far wrong with their stuff, but (certainly in the UK) you can get better value.
