Ripping CDs

@rvpiano 

I use an Innuos Zenith mk3.  It rips cds, is an excellent streamer, and I subscribe to Qobuz.

I’m starting with rare, oop cds, and meanwhile, I continue to listen to SACDs and blu rays.  I use Qobuz to preview new stuff before I buy, and listen to esoteric artists that I normally wouldn’t listen to.  

I just retired, so I have lots of time.  Good luck!

If you hate the idea of using a computer, there is all in one rippers out there.

I frequently use a Cocktail Audio X45 that makes the process very simple. I prefer that to using the computer.   If on a budget, here is an idea:

Get yourself a used Sony HAP Z1ES.  Add a slim CD drive and you are in business.  It even works as a music server, and is a excellent player in its own right.   I liked it so much, I did a review of it here:  

You can buy a dedicated CD copier, but they are expensive.  If you buy a

streamer that rips CD’s as well, that will be expensive.  Getting a used computer somewhere would probably be your best bet.

I believe you are assuming that the desired content is available through some subscription service, preferably one to which the OP is subscribed.  Yes?  Or am I missing something?

There are a few (not many) CDs in my collection that I cannot find on Qobuz, which is my subscription service.  I have to rely on my ripped copies of those titles.

OP, if you have a good relationship with a dealer, they may be able to rip your CDs for you for a nominal fee.  That is the route I followed myself.

It appears you are not set up to rip cds. Contract the job out to someone local to perform the task. Their fee may be as low as keeping copies of your music…
