I am interested in building a music server. I have tried the Cambridge Audio 640H and found that it has more problems than I am willing to take on, but it demonstrated to me that the concept is valid. I like the convenience of quickly selecting and playing stored music.
I need to get some specific recommendations as to what hardware and software would be required for such a project. I am willing to spend some money for this, but I don't have an unlimited budget. I would like to keep the total $ in the 1K to 2K range. I am looking for a soundcard that will provide good quality output, a good PC (this is probably the easiest), and any required software.
My objectives are 1) store CD images, preferably uncompressed, 2) Organize and select them for playback, and 3) connect to Pandora. #3 is also easy. A web browser and a couple of add-ons will take care of that.
If anyone out there has any experience that they are will to share, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance.
