New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

RE: SACD vs Downloading

I play music out of my PC. (See my profile for details.) In addition to the system drive I have a 4 TB hard drive that holds music files, presently about 3/4 full). These are mostly stored in FLAC formats at 44/16 up to 192/24, but I have a few dozen DSD albums, mostly from Channel Classics and BlueCoast Records. I download these to the music hard drive using Firefox. Downloads are fast on my DSL service, about 1.5 MB per second.

I have a NAS with about 6 TB of file space that I use for backing up the PC. For backing up the music drive I use SyncBackPro. This runs automatically each night and backups up any new files added to the music disk.

I have the albums stored in folders, at the top level by genre, then within Genre by Composer and then by Performer (for classical) and by Performer (for Jazz). I keep album art in the folder along with the music files. No fancy library software.
