Are you an audiophile?

Can't say I am an audiophile. I only use lossless to archive my collection and burn 1.1 copies of OOP CDs. I also can't say I can tell the difference on most music. If I focus and it's a low bitrate, maybe. But again, that's not why I use lossless...

The fact, I only use a Soundblaster Live 5.1 card and a pair of $50 speakers proves it! I am definitely no audiophile!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Did the same myself! Though, it was closer to 80GB and only for those I had ripped myself in MP3. I also got rid of some of the ones I downloaded that I wasn't going to bother to get on CD or in lossless anyway. Can't say I miss them, regardless whether I have re-ripped them or not yet...

I guess it depends on whether you actually listen to and like the music you collect. Most of what I deleted was stuff I just downloaded originally for the sake of doing so, being new to broadband and all. Mostly, it was stuff that I was never going to listen to again. Mostly...

There's nowhere I can't reach.
