Cover Art
No, I never used the MS-300 to digitize any LPs. I have now ripped about 900 CDs, and they work well, except that I am disappointed in the inability of the software to find cover art. Perhaps it is because I am using my browser to control the MS-300 but I haven't been successful in downloading cover art in this way.rlrct said:

Have been skimming over this thread. How does the MS 300 store audio? in CDA format? in WAV? or a lossless FLAC format? And what about the OS?
Have noticed the Maxtor hard drive. What backup provisions are available? Sorry for not tracking the discussion thoroughly.
Where does MP3 or MPC compression come into the picture? (do I dare ask that question?
)

Here's one for Masterlu:
The one big question that has not yet been answered is can the hard drive of the MS-300 be removed from the unit, cloned to a larger hard drive, then added back into the MS-300 and have it recognize the larger drive and function properly? It can be done with no possibility of damage to the original hard drive. Masterlu, how about you try it? It's a straight-forward process to clone one drive and it's entire contents over to another drive. If it doesn't work you can just plug the original one back in (since it will be untouched) and we will all have that elusive answer. Check out the pic of the internals:
I talked to my buddy who works on these here in San Antonio and he *seems to think* that the operating system is on the board and not on the drive. This would be cool as it would allow any MS-300 owner to add a larger drive as his collection filled up. But he's not entirely sure about this. 750 gig hard drives are $250.00 at Best Buy, and 1.5 terabyte drives are scheduled to be released in february.

Not a Chance!
Hi Jimmy,
Now why would I do any of that when I already chose to network multiple MS300's together. They function seemlessly & flawlessly.
If it isn't broke don't fix it. Better idea, you take yours apart & experiment away!

I wish I had one to experiment on. I was just curious about it, as well as other members are.
