Not that this will necessarily help you....
I have a Mac (iMac 20110 3.06GHz i3 12GB 1333MHz DDR3)
with multiple HD's and about 5 TB of music Flacs mostly and some shn files.
My computer is in my "office" aka Man Cave in our detached garage about 60' behind our house.
I use Cog > Airfoil > apple airplay via extended network of my Apple Airport extreme to my 2 other apple airport expresses in the house so I can listen to flacs in the garage or house.
in my office I listen via my KRK R6's but can also stream to the house so my wife can listen as well, and me if I am inside and want to hear my music.
I no longer burn stuff to discs and either ruse my Rockboxed ipod in car or the above method to enjoy file sets.
