What are My Options for Ripping My CD Collection ?

+1dogearedaudio. I’ve imported 1300 CDs (and counting) using itunes ALAC (lossless) encoding. Using a NAS drive for storage. Am using this to stream local music using Roon, but itunes has a local standalone player capabiity if needed. Not complicated at all. 

Update.

Thank you all for your input.  After much thought and consideration of the possibilities, I have confirmed in my own mind that upgrading my music streamer is #1 and ripping CD’s is #2 but also very important. I also feel it would be terribly convenient to have all my music in one place and easily accessible. So, I have decided on the Innuos Zen Mk 3. The reviews and the input from these forums for  the Zen Mk 3, the Sense App, and excellent customer support have been very positive and I can confirm that customer support has been excellent in answering my recent questions. 

I appreciate each and every comment and suggestion.

Congrats!  I think you’ll be very happy with that decision.  Let us know how it goes if you could. 

I ripped over 4,000 CDs on my lap top using DbPowerAmp. Did it every night while watching TV and transferred the rips to a network hard drive (two in tandem as a safeguard against one going down.  Took awhile but you only have to do it once.

OP, 

Congratulations. Good choice. You get both worlds. Ripping can be a casual thing done at your leisure while listening to streaming. Tell us how it goes.
