Thanks very much for your suggestions. I've just had a look at Jellyfin and will give that a try on my PC in the next few days. That's an interesting idea. I'll probably stick with my hard drive, as I want to start ripping my favourite cds in a less compressed format and see how that sounds...

After struggling for ages to find an alternative to a Brennan to store and play all of the music I own on cd, I found this forum and was given some very helpful advice to try the WiiM Amp and was helped to get it set up. I was asked to provide an update on how I found using it. I’m very happy...

Thank you very much for the further advice. So something like this would work...

Thank you for posting again and for the explanation. This is what I bought on Amazon without giving it too much thought: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BV65Y6B2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

It's a Western Digital one - WD Elements Portable HDD. It just comes with a cable to plug into a USB port.

I was asked to provide an update on how I’ve got on with using the WiiM Amp with a portable hard drive to play all the music I own on cd . It’s taken a while as I planned to buy the Amp from Richer Sounds, but they were out of stock for ages, with new stock expected this month. After following...

Thanks very much for the further suggestions and advice which are greatly appreciated. The USB socket adapter was something I read in the specification or manual on the wiim website, I think. I've asked their very helpful customer service team to confirm this is needed, in case I read it...

Thank you. I opened a support ticket with WiiM late yesterday afternoon and have got clarification that random/shuffle play is possible and that it does support a 2TB USB hard drive and copes with up to 50,000 tracks, so I'm 99% sure that I'll buy one and I'll post here again once I've got used...

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I've had a good look at the manufacturer's website and think it looks like exactly what I've been trying to find for ages. If I didn't buy a Brennan, my Plan B was a FiiO R7, which I came across when it was offered as the crossword prize in 'Mojo'. It...

Thank you very much for replying. I have ripped my cds in MP3 format using a mixture of CDex and the Windows Media Player legacy edition, but I don't mind starting again if doing this wasn't sensible. The Giga Juke is about 15 years old, but still works fine. I checked out with Sony whether I...

I am looking for something to replace my beloved Sony Giga Juke, which stores and plays music I own on cd after it is ripped to it. I would ideally like something equally self-contained and easy to use with a capacity of up to 50,000 compressed tracks which can be played randomly. I could buy...
