btw I made reel-to-reel separate from the other tape formats since some people swear by the former but don't care for the latter.

Who cares about format?  Just give me the tunes.

Lossless, mainly FLAC ripped from CD.
I don't own a CD player any more, but I buy discs. Downloads are still way too expensive.

No poll answer from me. The questions don't fit.
I love music. Sadly, I'm an audiophile too.

I've got 80% of my collection to rip.   :(  I have to resolve to rip all new acquisitions and listen that way.

Oh boy you have your work cut out for you!  Perhaps you need batch conversion software and multiple optical drives... :-\

Edit: deleted other part of my post and made it a separate thread.

So my classical music collection is pretty modest. I own about 120 albums which totals about 200 CDs. I had all this music (and others I borrowed from a school library) stored into my 120 gb ipod in lossless format.

I used the family PC with my ipod, but so did my brother. Long story short: I ended up syncing to the wrong Itunes profile and lost all my music!  >:(

Favourite formats: CD, SACD, DVD and Blu-ray. Lossless digital files for the computers and portable media players, live performances over all.

     You stored your music on an iPod? What happened to your Library? iTunes doesn't erase the files unless you tell it to.

For sure! :) - I think it took me about 4 months to rip my collection of about 1000 Discs to iTunes! Its certainly  a job I don't want to be repeating in the near future!  :-X

Yeah a major pain in the butt!

Well I'm kind of surprised to see that there are not too many nostalgic vinyl yearners here... ;D
