I'm a bit of a closet audiophile and have about 500 cd's, I also have a 3 year old son and my CD collection, high end (Cyrus) system and bits and pieces and him mix very badly.
What I'd ideally like to do is transfer my CD collection onto a 500gb hard drive in some sort of player and put it on top of a small amp wired to some smaller speakers up on the wall.
I was thinking of going the Ipod/dock route but the lack of remote, small screen and limited storage/mp3 compression put me off.
I've seen a few media players that kind of tick the right box but they are normally centred around TV use (not that it matters) and don't seem to have much of a screen, to the extent that I fear they may just list it as Track 1, Track 2, etc which with 500GB of music on it would be infuriating.
At the moment I'm using my wifes lappy but the damn woman keeps using it.
Can anyone think of a solution?, anyone tried one of these media boxes?.
The sort of thing I'm thinking about is the Envizage Cyclone 500GB (or similar).
