hi Liz,
call me lazy... laugh
but 42Gb of accessible tunes is just great !!!
I use my 7.1 ready PC to store and play most (if not all my music)
I extract compact discs as WAV files using Windows Media Player version 11.
I'm also transferring old tapes and Lp's
using Nero Wave editor and saving them as MP3's

output is dealt with a 6 ft. optical
to my 1070
DVI for video

input is analog (stereo)via tape out on the 1070
S-video for video(I still don't know why ??? laugh )

For music playback...WMP does all the work...exept for the few AAC files I have which are dealt with using Nero ShowTime...

SQ IMHO...is very comparable to my Pioneer DVD player...or my previous Yamaha cd player...


Output does vary with some files...
as it does with different cd's or recordings...
but that's why we have remotes.... wink
