It is not the SB3's fault that you are in a *transition*. It is like blaming your Blueray player for the fact that you have to find a way to do something about that VCR collection you have.
For new music, I have a choice - buy the CD and rip it losslessly, or buy it as a compromised MP3 source. In my case, the convenience of the online download wins out every time these days. It is again not the SB3s fault, it is the way I chose to consume music given new technology available. If I had friends I'd tell them to take their time in ripping their music and enjoy the process, since -while inconvenient, is part of the ritual. Or put all their CDs in a big box and send them off to a ripping service, since that'll make them think about the music they really listen to. The system itself? Lots of choice, but I think Logitech offers a great variety and a great product. Especially now with the Touch, when things can be very self-contained. The SC software is great for me. For most people, a drive off the SBT is all they need. And I may transition to that eventually. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo (8GB) - Vista Ultimate 64 and Ubuntu 9.04 64 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67637 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
