  1. I do the same RoboCopy is the way to go:

     

    Robocopy <Source folder <Destination folder> /e /s /r:1 /w:1 /purge

     

    So to copy all the songs (or just update) in C:\mymusic to the USB drive on "G\MyMusic" it would be:

     

      Robocopy c:\mymusic   g:\mymusic /e /s /r:10 /w:1 /purge

     

    /e = Include empty folders.

    /s = Include all sub folders

    /r =  Only do 10 retrys (Default 1 million!!)

    /w = Only wait 1 second between retries

    /Purge..  Careful with this one.. Using Purge will delete any files on the USB drive that do not exist on the C drive.  So the two folders will be a mirror image in the end.  If you do not use Purge then anything you delete from the source folder will still exist on the USB drive.  Think about that for a sec before using.

     

    You can then make a CMD file that includes multiple robocopy lines for the multiple drives:

     

    Robocopy c:\mymusic   g:\mymusic /e /s /r:1 /w:1 /purge

    Robocopy c:\mymusic   h:\mymusic /e /s /r:1 /w:1 /purge

    Robocopy c:\mymusic   I:\mymusic /e /s /r:1 /w:1 /purge

    Robocopy c:\mymusic   j:\mymusic /e /s /r:1 /w:1 /purge

     

    Robocopy has other features such as logging, but for now that's enough out of me :)

  2. My copies of  "I Robot" and "Wish you were here" on SACD just showed up.  After a quick listen of both I am impressed.  Need more time to really go through them and dig into the music.  I am already very familiar with both so this should be a treat to find new details buried in the recordings.

     

    A friend of mine has the Rhino release of "Brain Salad Surgery" 5.1 min on SACD which I have been trying to find.  Can't wait for that either.  It's supposed to be one of the best 5.1 engineering efforts.  I'm sure "Karn Evil 9" is going to cause major eargasms.

     

    I was listening to "Best of Bread" the other day and was impressed with the engineering on that, happy to see Mobile Fidelity also has an SACD of their "Baby I'm a want you".

  3. I raised this question in another thread and thought it worthy of it's own.. 

     

    It's great to get a collection of audiophiles together and discuss what systems we have and what we have done and so one, but what sources do you find are best.  I don't mean that just in terms of Vinyl vs CD vs SACD vs Pure Audio.  But, out of that non exhaustive list, what have you listened too that really stood out as a well engineered and recorded "album"?  Physical or streaming. . . .

     

    Last night I listened to Pink Floyd's Dark Side on the Moon on SACD and the 5.1 mix.  Room lights where off and I was pretty much center stage.  Did this mostly as I just put a Cinema Grand Sig 400-5 into service.  Heard things I had swore where not there before, couple of times I backed up and listened to a section again.  This is one album I thought I knew from all angles.  Truly amazed.  Ordered "Wish you were here" on SACD 5.1 for good measure and can't wait for that to show up.

     

    I also listened to "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" on Blue-ray Pure Audio.  Just a STUNNING rendition of APP's first album.  Really wish or hope Mr. Parsons goes on to do the same to Pyramids and I Robot.  I also ordered "I Robot" on SACD, really looking forward to that.

     

    I might add some that I just thought were terrible.

     

    So what stands out in your collection as noteworthy recordings?

    Always wanted one! :D

     

    Well then the path is clear :)

     

    Had mine since '97 and have put 100K miles on her.  Each one a blast..  One of the most reliable cars I have ever owned.  Only let me down twice and they were really my fault.  No complaints.

    Great picture.  Next step curtains.

     

    Yea I have been looking around but want a particular shade of red and also weight of the curtain.  The carpet will also change to something darker.  Lowe's actually has "Home Theater" carpet.
