Computer-based digital audio repository system


I was interested in putting together a computer system that would allow me to rip my CD's onto a large hard drive as .WAV files (full CD data preserved). The system would then organize my data so that I could extra pieces of it to burn to a CD for use in the car, or send some of it to an MP3 player for use while exercising. Or, it could function as a jukebox that would either let me specifically select something that I want to hear or I would select a genre and it would automatically choose the source. This would then be routed through a digital cable to an external DAC and through an audiophile-grade system.

I was wondering if anybody was doing this already and, if so, what hardware and software you're using to make it happen. I am currently experimenting with a software product called MusicMatch Jukebox to see if this is feasible with that software.

I appreciate the opinions and experience of people who have already tried this.
