Help !

I recommend you to try Cocktail Audio X12 or X14 to rip and store it.

They have rippers in it and very compact not taking much space.

2T hdd will be more than enough to store all of your CDs

I had been using X12 for 6 years with no problem.

It is still working fine.

Recently I switched to X30 with 2 T SSD which sounds comparable to Jay’ Audio CDT2 MK2.

It is a lot of work to rip your 1,500 CDs into music server.

I sent you a PM about this.

It is always necessary to backup the hard drive which is prone to failure.

I know many people who lost the photos stored in hard drive.

It took 100 hours to rip around 1000 CDs and I still have 1K more CDs to rip .

Thus it will be good idea to back it up.

I also plan to keep my CDs even if I finish ripping all of them.

I agree on 10 minutes average time for one CD ripping.

One more suggestion to OP or anybody interested in ripping CDs.

It sounds much better out of SSD rather than HD without spinning jitter.

That is my firsthand experience from direct comparison.


Hard drive is also more prone to failure.

2T SSD can be obtained around 250$.
