Ripping CDs
I would like to be able to rip CDs. My streamer, Cambridge CXNv2 doesn’t have that capacity. although it can store CDs. What do I need to rip CDs?
@rvpiano you need a computer, cd-rom drive, SSD(highly recommend it, but HDD will also do) and software. I use dbPoweramp software to rip to FLAC. It’s very good. If you use free version it won’t pull artwork but you can find it on discogs and just copy/paste the image. |
Any old PC will do. No use in adding the function to a streamer. Everything from iTunes, purchased or free software will do it. Switch output format to FLAC before ripping. I would suggest always putting the max into a single function streamer. With a little effort and money ripped files become irrelevant unless your internet is down. That has happened to me once in the last five years. |
Borrow one? Although it is time consuming.
I had to look up your system again. Nice. But your streamer is no where near the quality of much of your system. If you get a much better streamer, there should be no sound advantage to ripped files. Then they are no longer important. It is really time consuming. |
