Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's?


From my limited reading it seems that a cd burned to a hard drive will be a bit for bit copy because of the software programs used to rip music files. A transport has to get it right the first time and feed the info to a dac. Wavelength audio has some interesting articles about computer based systems and have made a strong statement that a transport will never be able to compete with a hard drive>dac combo.

Anybody care to share their thoughts?

Streetdaddy,
After change the music folder to G drive, try "consolidate library" from the Advanced menu in iTunes. To free up space from the old location, delete them. Hope this help.
Gigi, i put all my music on the g drive {my hd }, then i went back and erased my c drive, where all the music was stored. I set my g drive as my music folder, and consolidated my library. Now when i start up itunes it is blank. The songs are on my g drive,tho. How do i get them to automatically pop up when i start itunes?
Ok, i just added the folder {my g drive} to my library and they all popped up. Do i have to do this every time?
Streetdaddy, you should be OK now that you've added your G drive files to the library. Gigi's advice concerning the Consolidate Library command was a little off target. It's possible to have music files that are scattered all over different drives in your music library. The library is a data base that keeps track of where the files are. The Consolidate Library command makes sure a copy of all the tunes in your library is contained in your designated iTunes music folder. When you tried the Consolidate Library command, you hadn't put anything in your library yet, so nothing happened.

The iTunes music folder location determines the default location for all _future_ music files you rip and add to your library. If you change the location setting, it will not affect the location of any files already in your library. Since you've put your G drive files in your library, and (I'm assuming) you've set your iTunes music folder location to that very same G drive music folder, your music collection will continue to be in one place as you add to it.
