Absolutely!! I have 2 - 1TB back-up hard drives, one for very small bit rate to jam an iPod and the other for high end .wav files as the original source for making straight cdr and just because. I've been converting my entire collection (about 4500+ cd's) over to digital so I can sell them. Almost complete.

I used to have a friend who's party trick was to take off all his clothes, lie on his back and gyrate his hips pretending to be a helicopter. Guess we went to different dinner parties,

Gee Dave, what happened? Did he take off and crash into the ceiling?

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the hell happened

But nothing beats Vinyl!!
mehrens2112, why don't you rip DIRECTLY to .FLAC?
