Even if I did still use the Axim for music, single card storage is no longer practical. My Redbook CDs are now ripped in lossless FLAC. With 192kb/s minimum VBR MP3 I could put most of my collection of a 32GB card, I think. With FLAC I'd need closer to 160GB...
For the record, I am not saying that the Axim or the Shures are bad. What it boils down to is that I prefer a well set up speaker driven system over one using headphones any day.

I ripped my CDs using 192kb/s also but not FLAC, just using WMP10 as I thought that I would one day stream my music files to an AVR and that it would give me better quality than the CD quality 128kb/s. I have already used up more than 5MB out of my 8GB Transcend Cf card with more than half my CD collection to go. In fact, I have not heard of
FLAC until your post. Thanks for the info.
Just curious what are the components of your high end stereo system? Using Pio1014TX driving Paradigm Atoms myself..pretty entry level.
