Maybe I'm not being clear enough. This is designed as an exercise to give
mp3 a torture test. I'm doing it to satisfy my curiosity more than anything
else. I listen to CDs in one room only - I live in a large, open plan
single
story (detached, thank god) house, so have no need for whole house audio.
If
I want "wallpaper music", then I turn on Virgin radio through Sky
digital -
horribly compressed, but good enough for background music. If I want to
listen to music (which I do sitting in between the two main speakers) then
I
am prepared to get up every half hour or so and change the CD. I have no
desire to set up a Jukebox - it doesn't match my lifestyle!

Tim.
