[QUOTE="Now Playing, post: 114252, member: 2381"] iTunes is hardly decent ripping software. Simplest and fastest would be dbpoweramp batch ripper. Hell, even my mother has ripped her own collection using a PC with a few DVD drives meaning she could rip 3-4 albums concurrently. The FLAC file format and source code is completely open source so there cannot be any incompatilibilities except with asshole companies like Apple and Microsoft that deliberately choose to deny its existence whilst the rest of the world, artists and labels alike, embrace it. iTunes and Windows Media player are hardly decent playback solutions and others that support FLAC playback on those platforms abound. You can very comfortably store your entire collection on a HP Proliant Microserver, which is unobtrustive and quiet enough (even with 5x2TB HDDs spinning) to have inside your listening room, so even the DOG7 (CAT5 would suffice BTW) is not an issue. And, if you really didn't want a server in your listening room, there are ethernet over power adaptors. [/QUOTE]
