For the last year i only listen to music on my laptop but i think in the end a computer while it can do many great things is not good enough for a stereo. The problem for me is that so much equipment keeps breaking and is expensive to replace so i hold off buying.
Right now i have a good enough stereo amp 4x speakers (one pair i found dumped and the other actually car speakers) i can plug in the computer and also a small sony digital walkman that i have and hopefully i can get a record player soon.
With my walkman i can listen to music cycling around the countryside on my bike or just go and sit in the woods.
I find it very complicated these days with music differnt ways to buy it differnt kinds of format different playback equipment etc.
