You a need a micro sd card not full size. Samsung class 6 are recommended: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Memory-Standard-MicroSDHC-Adapter/dp/B00J29NL6U/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1431673447&sr=1-7&keywords=samsung+micro+sd+card+16gb+class+6 This case is neater: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Closed-Raspberry-Model-Great/dp/B00OBB0F0E/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1431673786&sr=1-7&keywords=pi+case Unless you have a spare 2.5" laptop drive or msata drive hanging around, a portable USB 2.5" drive would be easier and cheaper: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Elements-Capacity-Portable-Drive-Windows/dp/B00CRZ2PRM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1431674175&sr=8-4&keywords=1tb+portable To power Pi2 + usb hard drive you need a good quality 2A power supply, e.g.: http://www.amazon.co.uk/NorthPada-Supply-Charger-2000mA-Raspberry/dp/B00UC8R292/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1431674322&sr=1-3&keywords=pi+power+supply+2a If you aren't going to rip a large number of CDs I'd just start off with a 64GB USB flash drive. It will be neater, more robust, and no issues with power. And you can just plug in another (up to 4) when you run out of space... One of these will fit something like 2500 tracks / 150 CDs ripped to flac, and it's very neat: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cruzer-Fit-Flash-Drive-SDCZ33-064G-B35/dp/B00FJRS6QY/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1431675350&sr=1-1&keywords=fit+64GB If you install squeezeplug on the pi, you'll be able to access the drive on the pi from any windows pc to copy files over. DBPowerAmp is highly recommended for ripping. Ripping to flac is recommended - it gives you an exact copy of the CD, and you only want to do it once, as it takes a lot of time. Keep backups! You can easily make a copy of the library as mp3 later to save space for mobile devices or to fit a lot more on that 64GB stick. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103641 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
