Tried to add some more detail about the library. Via Squeezebox, the library count is 3,343 files, with a rough breakout listed below. Sorry about the multiple amendments, but I had issues with the site when trying to add this detail. Conservatively listing the numbers of audiophile files as some were not tagged as such via MusicBrain when I ripped them.

Questions for the seller
Hi, do you have a full list of artists and labels? What format was the ripping done in? FLAC?
Hi, Thanks for the interest. The ripping was done predominantly on the Vortexbox, which is FLAC. Some were ripped with EAC into FLACS. No lossy compression. Really not focusing on the files and that is why I did not post info about the catalogue. It is over 3,000 titles, so do not have a list. Very Jazz and Rock heavy. Lived in New Orleans for a decade, so allot of music from there. Fairly extensive XRCD, MFSL, and audiophile library. If I can answer any other questions like specific titles, will be glad to. However, really just want to upgrade storage.
