[slinkelist] MP3??? No way!

[Kevin O'Connor]

In a year or so you should be able to buy a 150GB for around $300. That's
enough to hold 250 or more CDs without any compression. A year or two more
and it will be impossible for a CD changer of any size to compete with a
hard disk. And, if you want the best audio, use a sound card with SPDIF
output and feed your high-end DAC.
