I never thought of that. Then I'm working with a 160 GB hard drive and so far I've used about 40 of them. Then again, you're probably right.

Also, gramophone plays thru what I think too much feature, a noise file which is intended to mimic vinil recored's noise... The thing is, those "old tunes" are already in very low quality and personally making them worse is just overdo... so I created clear file (no noise mask)... All Edith Piaff remastered records already sound low enough straight from CDs...
I'm using a huge amount of old German hits I downloaded from Terrapin's site. A lot of them sound so good I've been trying to make them tinnier sounding.

Starting and stopping, selecting songs on the gramophone is kinda tedious with default interface but they can be mapped to desired keys and I found doing it makes gramophone experience very comfortable Especially "toggle gramophone start/stop" with a single key stroke is handy.
I use SH3 Commander, which has a "Randomize Gramaphone" function. Since I have well over 100 songs on mine, plus historic radio broadcasts, I just let it do its own thing.
