When moved to the UK 6 years ago faced the challenge that I couldn’t move my personal CD collection. So ripped as many as I could on mp3 \/ m4a \/ AIFF with the best quality I could. Didn’t take a hi-fi approach on those days as didn’t have the time nor the knowledge. Just wanted to get my huge CD collection with me and had just a few days to address it. Currently I have a collection of about 100GB of digital music. Can’t fit in an iPod or not very interested in using an iPod for playing a part of it. Problem is that my computer is not in the same room where my 45 SE is \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
Looking at how to address this problem, Rob (DHTRob<\/a>) suggested using voyage linux + mpd<\/a> as a music server. I was considering a Raspberry Pi<\/a>, but long lead times at the moment pushed me to look at alternatives.<\/p>\n [nggallery id=7]<\/p>\n So here is the first quick build for this digital music station. A tiny Linux server with WLAN and mpd running on it. My collection is all stored now on an SSD 128GB usb disk. The voyage Linux server is powered by a shunt 18V regulator.<\/p>\n What comes next is the USB DAC, which is on its way \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Playing digital music on my 45SE When moved to the UK 6 years ago faced the challenge that I couldn’t move my personal CD collection.
