What's preferable to use, AIFF or FLAC? iPods don't read FLAC do they? Which provides greater levels of compression?
Ripping 700 CD's to HD using FLAC-How much space?
Hello all,
Currently, I am in the process of transferring my cd's to an external hard drive using FLAC lossless, EAC for transfer and WinAmp for a media player. I would like a HD with enough space for future downloads but am unsure as to what size to purchase? Memory seems reasonably priced these days and 1TB external HD's are plentiful. Also, I may let go of cd's that I no longer listen to after I have them on the HD which leaves me with another dilemma - how many HD's would suffice for backups? Everyone's advice is appreciated. Thanks, Chris

Dell XPS 400
Room for 2 internal HD's (using only (1) currently)
