[Hetmann]

I ripped my library some time back and must admit I really enjoy having it all available at the push of a button. My audio gear is good quality and for the most part the sound is the same as listening to a CD. I must admit most of my listening is casual these days, background music for dinner or entertaining. But even when I am alone and crank things up, the sound is fine. Some people claim to be able to hear the difference, I guess I'm just not one of them or the equipment I have cannot provide the resolution needed to make the distinction. Get a PC with a decent sound board and rip at 256 bitrate or better.
