[SunRescue] MP3 collections

[Hatle, Steven J.]

Whenever we buy a new CD, it immediately gets ripped down to the NetApp, and
Jeanne and I both know how to update the playlists of our respective players
to reflect the current state of what's in the NetApp store.

I never bothered with Napster- not that I had any legal problems with it,
just that I didn't need another obsession at this time. Though it might be
nice to find the oddball track once in a while.

Anyone heard more about the Gateway and/or Dell components that hook to your
stereo to feed it MP3's stored on your home LAN? They were in PC Magazine
last month, and look to be about $300 each. Might be close to time to run an
Ethernet drop to the back of the entertainment center. . .

How does everybody get these huge mp3 collections?  I have read of
several of you speak of having a large numner of MP3s.  I have a few cds
that I have ripped to MP3, but it takes awhile.  Did you guys just have
a constant connection to Napster?
