AmirBagachelles Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 I want to finally put my collection on hard disk, but I have no interest in anything lossless. On the other hand, WAV is just too large. Are there good, easy to use tools to store music in FLAC or some other lossless format, where I can get a good capacity savings, and be able to decompress and play it on the fly? Do any appliances for sale work in this manner? Thanks Quote
