I can fit 8 hours of music on a CD+R at the lowest resolution

I just put 6 LP's on a CD+R even at the highest/fastest resolution

what the hell are you talking about ?

the speed/resolution/record time is totally adjustable

the HDD will hold 120 hours of music- that's almost 240 LP's

what's easier- keeping a rack of 240 CD's in a pile somewhere, and
having to load them in/out to play them

or just turning on the TV, hit "library", and click on the LP I want to
here- and the music comes out

why store 200 CD's in a player, when this stores it inside the HDD

and they also make them with twice as much HDD space as this one has

that means the one with more HDD space, will store 240 hours of music

that's almost 480 LP's stored inside the box on the HDD- without buying
a single CD
