Ken,

As i said, only my favourite music would be encoded with FLAC.
i don`t envisage having album collections of this size.


> The only comment I have about format wars at this stage in this 
area, other than the fact that the newer methods are better is that 
they are not backward compatible. Therefore it renders the rip 
unusable to my SliMP3s, Traxdata M-Station and as many other devices 
so I won't be  changing in hurry! Apart from that ripping the 
collection once was > enough thanks! ;)

Backward compatabilty is achieved with the use of transcoders. I use 
Jreceiver to serve music to my Rio`s, using the transcoder function 
allows other formats to be streamed as MP3 (ie OGG files). Simalarly, 
i plan to use FLAC as my standard streaming to the Rio and transcode 
other formats to that.
