Back on track here boss.
Was that all a bit strong then guv? 
Chillax and straw men, well I never….
Oh well, back to the Hi Fi related matters then; shame, I was just beginning to enjoy myself.
It took me about a week to rip my CD’s to file, two copies, one flac and one Wav, using EAC.
I believe dbPoweramp is quicker and more user friendly.
I have another 600 gigs or so of music on ½ tapes that I have yet to find a satisfactory method of transferring to file.
Given I can’t do much in the way of physical activity atm (waiting for bones to re-knit) I’ve had the ideal opportunity to make this transfer.
Ooops almost forgot.....kthxbai
