Hi all, I'm thinking of putting my music collection into music files and a mate has suggested that I choose FLAC as a format and get a player that can play this format. I'm quite the numpty about this sort of thing, and have a few questions:
- Can I convert my CD collection into FLAC format? If so, what's the best way of doing it? Should I even bother - should I just keep my CDs and just get new albums in FLAC?
- Will I need an external hard drive to hold the music, or will the new player have one? If so, how big a drive will I need? I have c1000 CDs, all albums.
- Any suggestions concerning the best player/amp system? I like an open, flat, neutral sound stage. Are Cyrus any good?
- Anything else I should know/consider?
Any advice gratefully received...
