Actually, I was more interested in how you set up the disk array. The biggest one I'd set up was a while back, when 60 GB drives were at the best price point, and I created a 420 GB array of 8 60 GB drives on an Escalade 7850 controller (in a 4U rackmount case). Now, with 250 GB drives available, and a 12-port version of that controller, I'd suppose it easy enough to create a 2.5 TB array if you could find an appropriate case and power supply, but you seem to have gone quite a bit further than that. Or are you splitting your storage across separate machines? > But definitely doing them as individual songs.

Um...there's no reason you can't extract individual songs from a flac file based on the TOC in it, if someone would just write a little utility to do so. (I may end up doing it one day if nobody else does.) And then you won't lose the stuff in the pregap on live CDs, and it also makes the storage and naming easier to deal with. cjs -- Curt Sampson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're all light. --XTC ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
