quality rather than quantity?

I'm trying to establish:

1. whether I could use the new hard disc unit to store perhaps 100 cd's at an equivalent quality to the "old" minidisc I know and like (not bought it yet)

2. whether I can keep a library of CD's on my PC in that quality compression and download them to the hard disc portable more than once (if necessary)

3 whether I could use that PC library to stream by wireless network to my hi-fi without losing quality.

4 whether there is software that would convert an analogue signal from vinyl to linear PCM so that I can upload my old vinyl to PC

5. whether sonic stage would convert those linear PCM files on my PC to Atrac3+ so that I could store the vinyl in high quality Atrac format (which is what I use my old minidisc deck for).

Any help with this would be gratefully received!

not that i know of

if you buy a copy of soundforge you can do this straight to atrac3/3+

or for wav files try freeware audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

yes although because of the DRM requirements you could only transfer from the oine PC. no copying files to transfer from another pc [unless you use soundforge, see above]
