Bluesound Vault 2i died

@musicfan2349 off topic but several years ago my daughter bought me an Encore coffee grinder - I have since replaced the burrs and the on/off knob.

This grinder is made so that EVERY part is replaceable - if you go to the replacement parts page on the website you could build a grinder!

EVERYTHING should be made (and sold) like this.

Regarding OPs problem  If you google

is there any way to remove the drive from a non functional bluesound vault and copy its contents to my computer

it describes how to do it - but you need to run a Linux ext 4 system.  It is possible to run a Linux VM under Windows or Macos.  Probably a bit of  a pain but less than ripping 400 CDs again.

Good luck.

 my story goes like this. I purchased a Samsung flatscreen. After six months, it died. Did a warranty claim, And someone came out and fixed it. Then in another few months, it died again. Had to really ride Samsung’s leg to do a warranty repair, but they did. After that, found a Monster Power HTS 3500 power conditioner on craigslist(nib for only $50). Have moved on to an Audioquest Niagara 3000. It could’ve been a total coincidence, but after purchases of power conditioner, never have problems with anything. I can’t remember the last time I had to go reboot something. Once found a Tripp line conditioner https://share.google/QQCI5UTrLcoaA4MfYat Goodwill and gave it to a neighbor and she likes how it cleaned up the tv. Said it looked like she had cable. 

@boxcarman plus one ...

The HD on a Vault can be accessed and copied, but it isn’t easy.  I was still working when my Vault failed and I had my IT consultant do this as a side job.  It took him about 2 hours and a few calls to Bluesound.  I never would have been able to do it on my own

Implied warranty of merchantability

Under the Uniform Commercial Code, most states imply that goods sold by a merchant must be fit for ordinary use and of reasonable quality. If a $1,000+ item fails prematurely from a defect, you may argue it was not merchantable, even after the express warranty ended.

For a $1,000+ item, what matters most

How long after purchase did it fail? A failure shortly after the warranty expires is a stronger claim than one several year later.

What caused the fault? A manufacturing defect or known issue is stronger than normal wear, misuse, or accidental damage.

What did the warranty say? Look for clauses about implied warranties, exclusions, arbitration, and limitations on remedies.

Which state’s law applies? Consumer protection varies significantly by state.

If refused, consider a complaint with your state attorney general, consumer protection agency, or small claims court.

Even after a one-year guarantee expires, U.S. consumers may have rights under implied warranty laws, Magnuson-Moss, and state consumer protection statutes. A $1,000+ price tag strengthens the argument that the item should have lasted a reasonable time, but success depends heavily on the facts and the state law.
