New to Linux. Just installed Ubuntu on an old HP Laptop. Installed without any problems.
My home network has a Lacie Network hard drive with my entire digitized CD collection in WAV files and several in mp3 files.
The preinstalled Rhythmbox software easily recognizes all the music data on the Network hard drive and music can be cued up with one click instantly via my wireless connection. Right now I have the laptop hooked up via RCA cables to my receiver.
Questions:
1. Any external soundcards that are higher quality that I can use to improve my SQ and possibly give me an SPDIF connection to my receiver?
2. My Rhythmbox player will not play mp3 files. What is a good Plug-in to play these files? It plays WAV files without problem.
This computer will be used for media only.
