Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?

Johnspain - I am pleased to hear that you have had no problems when ripping CDs on your Cocktailaudio X45Pro. However, when I have tried to rip CDs I have always encountered problems. It takes around 20 minutes to rip one CD and as I have over 2,500 CDs in my collection it will take me over 830 hours to do them all. So it is a very laborious and time consuming activity, but the main problem is that the resulting file is never the same as the original CD. For example, none of the software I have used has been able to deal with gapless tracks correctly. It always either inserts a gap where none is required, or deletes a couple of seconds of music at the start of each track. At the very least there is a noticeable click when it moves on to the next track, which can be very distracting. Also, I have 130 SACDs in my collection. It is not possible to rip them because they are copy protected, so that would mean downgrading all my SACDs to CD quality. SACDs sound significantly better than similar recordings on CD so I do not want to downgrade them.
The last problem is that the software I have used never labels the music correctly. For example, when I ripped a 2 CD set the first CD was put in a folder with the name of the composer but the second CD was put in a folder with the name of the pianist. So when the process had finished I had to rename the second file and move it to the composer folder. This makes the whole process very messy and labour intensive.
Just out of interest - what was your main reason for deciding to convert your CDs to computer files? I can see few benefits.  

Once I thought my Melco S100/N100/Roon killed my cdp(Linn Ikemi)... Until purchasing Jays Audio CDT Mk.2 cd transport... Which killed streaming. Anyway my analogue(EMT 948) was better than both still.

It has been (is) a fun thread. FWIW, I’ve finally decided. I am replacing my Oppo with a better CDP … Marantz SA-KI Ruby … reportedly a much improved DAC I can feed streaming content (including my CDs ripped to my Vault2i), but also retain improved playback of my CDs (keeping). I’m also interested in how SACD playback sounds on this beast. Not sure I want to pay $35 a pop for new ones, but maybe over time will see some of those on used market. I will still rip all my new CDs still buying to the Vault2i so I can feed my collection to the Node2i in the living room.
Vinyl never leaving, have tables in both listening and living rooms. Still prefer that ritual/experience, and usually the sound (although I expect this new player, especially with SACD, will give it a run and perhaps surpass). We shall see …

I can't believe there is so much misinformation on this thread. 
1) Backups go bad. Are you backing up to paper tape? Tape? Backups don't fail, its people who fail to backup. If you are backing up to disk, all disks will eventually go bad, but the chances of both your source disk and your backup disk going bad at the same time is very rare. You do have to be smart about your backups: if you are getting disk errors, fix them or replace the disk, make sure your backups are operating every hour/day/week.
2) Errors reading music from HD. This is the most simplest thing to do on a computer. It's so easy, its built in all Macs, you insert a cd, iTunes reads and imports the disc, and you doubt;e click the album icon, and it plays. A 4 year old can do this. iTunes sucks for audio quality though! If you use any of the music apps that run on a computer: Roon, pure music, or a dozen others, you break up the parts of ripping music from the playing music apps.
3) Its been proven over a dozen years ago that reading music from a HD sounds better than from a CD player. I got rid of all my cd/sacd players almost 15 years ago.
4) If people play cds or albums because they can read the liner notes, you are missing out on much more important information that Roon provides. 
5) networks are a problem! There hasn't been a better time to install a robust/secure network than now. Network installation is very very easy. If you don't know networks, buy a mesh network and plug them in. If you can't do this, get the 4 year old I talked about above to help you.
6) so much trouble putting servers in different rooms. It's called being smart. You don't want any type of server in your audio room.

   "But the problem I see is that, because everything is at hand, your listening changes too and you just jump around rather than listening to a CD/LP that often the artist put a ton of time into to create a musical arc. It’s instant gratification time".

Yes-- the "playlist" has increasingly become the focus.
