I've been lurking on this site and I'm about to take the squeezebox plunge, but a couple of nagging questions keep running through my mind. First let me state that sound quality is very important to me. That being said I really love how much more of my music I found myself listening to when I have all my cd's loaded into 2 large changers. I consider the squeezebox the next evolutionary step (I've also contemplated the sonos system), for accessing and distributing all my music. My question is this...with memory being so cheap, why would I want to rip my cd's to one of the lossless formats as opposed to just ripping them as is. I use a computer all the time but certainly am no hacker, and it seems that there is a lot of work involved. Am I missing something or would it not just be easier to buy twice as large a hard drive, rip full strength, download info via cddb/gracenote or similar and be done. Won't this give me the artist/album /song info I'll need to do various sorts. thanks for any insights/advice, todd
