Resolved Question

Which Would Be Better????

Aug 29, 2011 7:16AM PDT

I'm going through all my music cds and ripping all my favorite songs
(I currently have over 3000 so far).
I have all my songs on my external hard drive, netbook and am getting
ready to put them on my lap top as well.
I don't plan on playing the songs on my netbook and was wondering
which would be better????
Playing the songs off the mp3's on the lap top or off the external
hard drive????

Are all in MP3 format?

If so, it should make no difference. MP3 is compact but only so-so quality. If you want the best quality, you use some lossless format.
