High Availability

In the process of getting my system ready for the introduction of the Squeezebox and the installation of the SlimServer I consolidated my digital music collection on to one of my older PowerBooks. Doing this has allowed me to also share all of my music around my house. I rip my CDs to the Apple Lossless format, which is supported by both my Squeezebox and all of my computers running iTunes. Now my collection is available wherever I am in my house. I don't have to look all over my house for a CD anymore, it is all right at my fingertips, and since it is all lossless, I am not missing anything. I have even been able to stream it to my laptop when I am away from home using a VPN technology. The future is now.
