There is no question that, ultimately, all software will be moved to a home
server with multiple TB hard drives. The CD "player", as such, will
disappear.
Assuming an average size of 500MB, you can get 2000 CDs, uncompressed, on a
one TB hard drive -- perhaps twice that with lossless compression. Once this

Hi,
I just read in the latest 2001-catalogue that the reasons for the special
prices is the 40th anniversary of that label. 2001 offers dozens of ECM CDs,
Jazz for Euro 7.99, classical for Euro 8.99 each.

And I'm glad that I latched onto Paul Jacobs' Debussy discs before they
went away--especially the En Blanc et Noir with Kalish; that performance
shows the anger that was in Debussy better than any other I've heard.

The main problem with that is that the metadata for classical music

I got fed up with Consumer Reports when I got stung from some of their
recommendations. We bought a car that they raved about; By the time we
got rid of it, it was on their lemon list. There were a few other things
that left burn marks, but they were small-ticket items that I can't
recall right now.

Download: William Bergsma’s Paul Bunyan Suite - St. Louis Philharmonic (private lacquers)

A small but interesting post for the Midwest Tour today…
My old friend John Titzler gave me this private recording several
years ago, and it sparked my interest in Bergsma’s music. The Paul

A reader poll in Stereophile magazine showed only 34% of those
participating still used CD players as their primary digital music
source. 36% used a computer-based server, 10% had dedicated servers
such as Sonos, 4% used iPods and 11% used a SACD or DVD-A disc player.
The poll didn’t ask for figures on vinyl playback.

The Linn Majik DS has been on my wish-list for well over a year, as a
replacement for a decent CD player.
The latest Denon and Sony receivers at the top end of their ranges do
much the same thing I understand, via an ethernet cable.
