You don't even need a real PC. In my bedroom, I use a 4K Firestick with Kodi loaded on it. I think I paid $29 for it.

I keep a few unripped discs in the inventory...mainly classical...as it keeps me from bouncing around too much. I tend to do that when having access to thousands of ripped tracks. We retired guys suffer from Adult ADHD, you know.
Yes, my PC sits right on top of my Oppo 100% of the time. Lid is closed, and it's all intertwined within my system. I have a wireless keyboard and a Logitech smart remote that knows all the different tasks I want to do. 72" monitor (ok, it's a TV) on the wall. Fun times.
Have neither seen nor heard anything about my shipment. So I just sent an email off to Cherry Red Records in England.
They don't send "Shipped" emails, so it could be on it's way, hope they'll answer you email though.
A side note on this. One thing I often do while ripping tracks is read the booklets that accompany these sets. The book that came with Time Passages discusses the origins of Year Of The Cat, especially the piano intro and the lyrics. I did know this already. It was mentioned in the YOTC deluxe release, and Stewart has told this story during live performances that I have attended. I did not know prior to this release that the Time Passages title track and Song On The Radio were deliberate attempts to follow the YOTC formula, specifically by having extended saxophone parts. This was mandated by the record label because of the success of YOTC. I also did not know that Stewart was so opposed to having saxophone parts in his songs because he considered it to be "un-folky" in a sell out kind of way.

I can’t find it on Importcds either. Out of stock but I hope there will be a restock soon as this deluxe set has only been out a few weeks.
Wow. I ordered it from there and already received it. I just went to my order history page and searched for the stock number. It couldn't even find that.
It has been saying it was back ordered right along.

USPS says that the shipment is delayed. Arrived in Pittsburgh on Oct 26. I just hope that those Steeler fans are enjoying the 5.1 mix. 
Exactly the same case for me. Shipped on 26th, and it's delayed....I really have no clue what the hell that means. Did they even really ship it, did it get lost...who the hell has it? Not me....USPS says that the shipment is delayed. Arrived in Pittsburgh on Oct 26. I just hope that those Steeler fans are enjoying the 5.1 mix.

I suspect that they ship from Pittsburgh (at least with media mail) based on a certain schedule. They probably had a plane, or truck, going from Pittsburgh to Texas close to the arrival date of your package in Pittsburgh. The trucks going to GOSland and ARland aren't scheduled to leave yet.
I think they ship from Kentucky.
Import CDs does indeed ship from Kentucky. I'm talking about what happens when the package gets to the USPS Pittsburgh distribution center.
Oh sorry. I misread. In that case, it probably takes a few days and does some sightseeing. The Andy Warhol Museum., the Heinz Factory, The Frick museum, Maybe just go around town counting the bridges....

Your package is moving within the USPS network and is on track to be delivered to its final destination. It is currently in transit to the next facility.

That term "Mail Recovery Center" does not instill too much confidence in the USPS. Thank you Mr DeJoy.
Can you imagine if this was some sort of mail order prescription drug rather than a recording.
I don't think they ship those as media mail. Isn't media mail the cheapest and slowest way to ship?

Yes, it is media mail which gets the lowest priority. But USPS also slowed down some (39%) of the first class mail. Well, there is always Amazon with their own delivery vehicles.

My experience has been that businesses that change things around to make things worse for their customers make things miserable for their employees.
