Makes perfect sense. Don't make a decision until you have to and until you more fully understand the consequences. Buy the SB Touch, install the software on whatever PC you have, start ripping your CDs, and then see how you feel after using it for awhile. Having a complete file backup makes sense and is a good practice. Buy two drives, use one for playing and the other as a duplicate. Free software (like Syncback, if you use windows) will make backups a simple task. Keep your backup drive disconnected when not in use. Many people use external USB drives, they're cheap and portable. Don't let the word "server" in the SB Server software name bother you. It's a program, it runs well on any PC with any mainstream operating system. There are lots of inexpensive and small "PCs" available on the market. If you choose a separate machine for your music, choose one that has an operating system and features you are comfortable working with. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88589 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
