Bluesound Vault 2


Thinking of downloading my cd's onto a music server such as the Blue Sound Vault 2. The downside to the vault seems that ripping with this vault takes about 1/2 the time of the entire cd.  Is there a quicker way to get the music into the vault, such as buying DB Poweramp ripping software to my computer hard Drive and then transfer the files
to the Vault?  Looking for the best possible sound.  Thanks for any suggestions.

My average time per cd into the Vault was about 8 minutes.  Just add as many as you feel like each day.  It’s not that hard to do.  Put your favorites in first.

In in the mean time you can listen to your favorites plus there’s Radio Paradise which is free commercial less radio which sounds great with a varied selection of music. Then there is access to page after page of internet radio stations of all sorts of specific genre. No way to get bored with this device even without all of your music loaded in one shot.  Arvin did a Tidal subscription which is another option.  I’m considering this as well.  I’ve seen free trial offers from anywhere from 30 to 90 days.

 I really like my Vault.
I am considering the Vault too. Can you play and rip the CD at the same time? That helps kill time.


It’s not a CD player so I don’t believe you can listen to the cd you are ripping at the same time.  You should be able to listen to already stored cd’s or stream during the process of ripping.  I can’t verify since I never tried it, just a matter of conjecture on my part.
6 to 8 minutes to rip a CD in flac or wav format.
No you cannot play the CD while ripping as it is not a player but as soon as it has ripped at least the first track you can then start playing said ripped CD.

Or listen to other ripped music or stream Tidal etc.
