I purchased this media player from www.i-tech.com.au just the other day, I am slowly playing with it to set it all up learn to navigate and use the features of this wonderful little media player, don't let the size fool you this unit packs a lot of features into one small box.

It uses cdparanoia in a sophisticated way to make sure that a CD rip is done successfully and accurately. These days with the massive storage devices we have the only way to go is flac, lower quality is fine for ipods and the like but for your home sound system, FLAC rules!
