I can honestly say I've never enjoyed my collection of nearly 1000
Jazz CD's more than since I finished encoding all of them to my
computer as WMA9 192kbps files. Random, near instant access with
artist and title information has allowed me to finally listen to the
music I've paid for all these years in a way I never dreamed possible
playing from individual discs. Seems one usually grabs the same 10 or
15 CD's or listens to whatever the most recent purchases are. With a
music server you start listening to everything you own. I have a
60gb hard drive system in my car with a good portion of my
collection available and am in the process of re-encoding my library
in a lossless format as I'm so sold on the quantum leap it has made
in my utilization of my collection and the price of hard drives has
fallen so dramatically.

This guy is obviously NOT a music lover. He doesn't want to suffer through
complex delicate rituals to listen to the music he loves, he just wants to
listen to the music he loves.
