What are My Options for Ripping My CD Collection ?

Get a high quality streamer and forget your CDs. They are sunk cost. The age of ripping is over. Streaming can equal or exceed sound quality at almost every level and you will have access to millions of albums for $13 / month. Qobuz is the preferred with over half a million high resolution albums. 

I ripped any CD that I that I couldn’t find on on Qobuz plus maybe a few hundred, but I still haven’t given them away yet and I don’t know why!

Especially as, like me, you’re not a tech person and a Zen Mk3 would be a streamer upgrade along with allowing you to easily rip all your CDs and have all your music in one place I’d just do that and be done.  Life’s too short to deal with tech BS, and some things are just worth paying for IMHO.  Plus you get Innuos’ wonderful Sense app as an added bonus, and you may find with the Zen your streaming sounds good enough to not need to rip the CDs that are available to stream.  Just my $0.02 FWIW, and best of luck. 

I used a service = https://dmp3digital.com/

They will rip to anything you want and in any format. For my time/effort of my 600+ CDs = worth it. Their service also came with a complete catalog of my music & they cleaned any disc that was difficult to rip. I bought two Samsung 870 EVO 4TB SSD SATA 2.5” drives, as these were compatible with my Aurender N20. Lesson learned = format the drives first using the Aurender beforehand.

Comparing the same tracts via CD, SACD, ripped storage, streaming, all analog on my turntable, and even U-Tube music is an interesting exercise...for me & in my system it really comes down to the quality of the original recording. A bad recording and poor studio mix – sounds subpar in any format. Even on You-tube there are some great & well-made tracts  = the two Steve Windwood acoustic tracts released 3 yrs ago are great examples:

I ripped 500 plus during covid. I bought a fast cd player for my macbook air.  Cut ripping time by more than half over Apple’s basic unit.  Well worth the money.
