Nice to see the PC world is slowly catching up with the Amiga and only 15 years behind on this one. I seem to remember approx 8 sec boot time from cold with my old 0.5GB HD. http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/FastBootV1_0 Where are my datatypes and arexx ports? I am still waiting for those.

Hydrogen audio forums provide a lot of very good information including well designed double blind comparisons between codecs and bits rates. See this page for details and the links to other testing sites. http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=List ening_Tests All in all an excellent resource for any serious listener.
