RE: Accessable Hard Drive for Hi Fi
Come to think of it a complete sound card would be overkill I think. A good Digital to Analog converter like the xitel pro if it is still available would do the trick. And of course if you like hi fidelity audio I would suggest you do not encode under 320 kbps if using mp3 or if at all possible some kind of lossless format.

Fwd: Increased Access to Rhapsody and more on this week's Main Menu
From:Jamie Pauls jamiepa...@sbcglobal.net To: annou...@acbradio.org This week, after our weekly Tech Update feature courtesy of Chase Crispin, we visit with Jonathan Martin who has written a set of Jaws scripts for Rhapsody, the popular online music subscription service. The scripts bring access to the Rhapsody application that has been almost impossible up to this point. After the interview, we take the scripts for a short test drive. Main Menu airs on Fridays at 9 PM Eastern or Saturdays at 2 UTC. Call the Main Menu comment line at (206) 339-0954.

The problem is that when using Winamp to listen to these streams, I can't get titles to show up with either of them, and I don't remember there ever having been an exception to that apparent rule.
