Good news for Mark and me
-
I threw out all my LP's when we moved. I kind of regret it, but I hadn't played them in nearly 30 years. I still have the CD's.
-
Could be worse, I still have hard drives with hundreds of thousands of songs I slowly accumulated between 2000-2010 that I've always meant to go through, tag, and organize. Yet, with streaming solutions, I guess that is pointless.
I have a very large collection of classical and jazz CDs that I have downloaded into iTunes as MP3 files. I would still like to download them again as lossless Flac files so I can stream them in their full glory.
Is there an equivalent programme out there like iTunes but specific to lossless files like Flac, that will organise the metadata into a catalogued music library for streaming into a Bluesound node?

So you PLAYED all your albums into some contraption and you have them all on some 21st century format? (If so) what a wonderful way to relive all that wonderful music and the associations they bring.
(Yea, yea, yea...probably pressed a magic button somewhere and it all got transferred automatically.)
But I like the idea of just playing all those albums once more.

Yes an external hard drive connected to my home PC. A dozen or so years ago everybody was doing that. Unfortunately they are downloaded into iTunes as compressed MP3 files so that they can be played on iPods. Fine for low volume background music, or your car or, through your headphones when you are working out, but for serious home listening, no.

This is the turntable I have. AMG Giro. Made in Germany. Spinning one the albums I bought last week. It sounds amazing.

Bloody hell, Mark - Spyro Gyra's a name I haven't heard in decades. Long ago I had a 10" single of Morning Dance, at least I think it was.
Smoooooooth.
