PC based hard disc players seem to be a common topic of discussion in

I 've done exactly the same thing. Got a new pc, stuck in 4 x 160gb
hard drives and ripped my 700 or so cds as WAV files using EAC. An
optical out connects to a DAC and into my STAX phones and the sound is
awesome - at leaste the equal of any CD player I've ever owned (up to
£500ish). The convenience and ease of use is incomparable. Once you
get into creating playlists etc, there's no going back. I sold my cd
player, and a stack of CDs that I really have no pride of ownership
in, and I'm quids in. So much so, I treated myself to an iPod!


What playlist software are you using?
