I have a music collection on my harddrive, because hey, i'm kind of old school, not that old, but old enough. i guess teenagers all listen out of their itunes library or something now.
but what i've found is that increasingly when I want to properly listen to my music on my good audio gear, I just play the flac files. otherwise when I need background music when I'm working or sufing the web or whatever, I just stream music videos off youtube because i have a superfast broadband and play it through normal computer speakers.
this is because on cheap gear, you cannot appreciate the difference between flac / mp3 and there's not much difference between mp3 and just streaming off youtube now.
