Don't people buy Portable CD players any more?

I can't see the benefit of them anymore to be honest. If you listen to a
lot of music in the car or on the move, a digital player wins hands down
everytime




Hmmmmmmm, maybe I'm just too lazy to dub it all across. I listen to so much
so frequently that there really is no point in going through my whole
collection. It's too daunting.

I thought that about 18 months ago but decided to give it a go as a few
friends had already done the job. It took me 14 months of work to rip the
whole lot across but it was definitely worth it. I now have a Dell server
with all my music at 320kbps which wirelessly streams random tracks around
the house 24/7. If I don't want to hear it, I just turn the volume down in
that room :-)

A useful side effect is I have a copy of the whole lot (240GB so far) on a
portable hard disk as an 'off site backup'. This lives at work - enabling
me (or anyone else on the office network) to listen to music at work as
well.

Finally, I load a constantly changing random selection of around 5000 tracks
onto an iPod for use in the car

The whole project has totally changed the way I listen to music!
