I have a tower and 350 giga ,room for another 3 or 4 drives more .
Even with it ,i would not have enought room.
Beside this i have all around me ,computer and stereo . So i do use a lot the stereo ,not the computer.
I have Emusic and other places with mp3 ,i use p2p a lot- to get on mp3 what i have on lp-, it means that i cannot have one day only APE on my computer.
I use APE when i get cds from friends. Straight to APE . After listening,some deleted ,some on 192 kps and some on APE. But the ones i keep on APE ,i buy the record at 90 % of the time.
I see a computer more like a walkman ,very convenient if not as good as the stereo.
And the day when a computer will be as good as a good cd player ,tape player or turnable is not next week in my opinion.
Music on computer is sub standart ,as hamburger and Stabuck coffe.
Ok ,it is just my opinion ,but i agree with it.
Having still your turnable ,one day try a 180 grs. In London you can find them in sale from 4 pounds.
Take an english one ,not a US...and tell me
