do you still have a cd collection?

[MotionMan]

Not relevant or no harm its only a cd collection. Its just how we discuss cases in the office but if its something sensitive then we omit.

So, did your gay client with all the CDs not have them ripped to mp3?
Does he own an mp3 player?
Is he homebound and only listen to music on his home stereo?

So, are there stand alone FLAC players? I have maybe $10K invested in my stereo, I find playing any kind of output from a computer to be real hit and miss with all the artifacts that are passed off to "speaker outs" between hums, whines, and just low grade fidelity.

Use a digital output to your receiver. There are a handful of mp3 players that support FLAC or just transcode to a supported lossless format.

Hell, I still have 1000s of vinyl records that I still listen too. I have at least 5000 cds which most have been ripped to either WAV or 320k MP3 files on my computer. I even ripped a good portion of my vinyl collection to WAV/MP3. Some of those 80s remixes never made it to cd format. And I still think vinyl sounds better than cd. Of course the ticking and pops suck but sonically my vinyls still sound great. Will never put cds or vinyls in storage.

Just CD but he was mostly home bound and how did you guest? Home bound was his choice. Mp3 that time was not popular.

I know a gay client who had a living room full of cds. I don't understand why someone has so many when there is mp3. Are cd quality better than mp3?

If he was mostly homebound and mp3s were not popular at the time, what did you not understand about him having so many CDs (again, at the time)?

Serious question: What is your first language?

I asked two questions and you, effectively, answered neither one.
