who needs a cd player anymore

I listen to my 2 CDPs almost every day. One is for Redbook and one is for SACD. I've considered music servers, hooking up an iPod (all three of my kids have one). My house is fully wired for a gigabit backbone. But really don't have the desire for file based music.

At the core, I think it's because I work with computers all day every day. When I'm home relaxing and LISTENING TO THE MUSIC, I don't want to have anything to do with computers: ripping, downloading, cataloging, backing-up, etc.

Nope, I'm just not interested. Happy it's working out so well for you. No doubt it's the future of audio. Enjoy.

I would miss the pictures and liner notes.

Cd players simply sound better. Great CD players sound way better. I have compared and thus far my player easily trumps the sound of computer based front ends. I like looking through my CD's and picking one also.

I am glad you enjoy your approach and many of us love our approach.

I DO!
I have over 700 cd`s, and
i`m still wanting at LEAST 150 MORE!
I have a list that I carry with me every time
I go to a CD store, which NOW in
Chicago/Northwest IN. we recently lost
the INFAMOUS Dicount Records.
A chain that I have shopped at since 1985! Gone in
summer 2008.
SO NOW, I have Best Buy(which does NOT carry
⅔ of the cd`s that i`m looking for.
And my local CD/record/tape store.
It`s hard to find
Sleeze Beezs or Roxy Blue at BB.
And I don`t feel like paying the
$50+ prices on flee bay.
Know what I mean?
So, IF my CD players WERE working, I would be
listening to them right now.
BUT, since I have played them so much,
they all skip like crazy now.
Someone on here said the Sony CD changers
need to have the Laser RAILS re-lubed, However
nobody here has showed me how to do it,
or what kind of lub the changers need.
Some people say that the WD-40 is NOT
good for this, but some say to use
White-Lithium grease.
So I DON`T KNOW!

Jvc...just one look at your system pic leads me to believe that you're the perfect candidate for a computer-based system. Dude that stack of cd changers is out of control!
