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?

Are you trying to store your CD collection in a music server? If so like others have said you need a computer/laptop. I have over 3k CDs stored that way in my music server. Actually I have 2 and I trying to sell one of them. If that’s the case you also need a software that allows you to tag the copied information and another software to help you organize them. Take a look at my add and tell me if that’s what you are trying to accomplish. I can give you some guidance then.

I’d say just get this and be done with it.  It’s likely a better streamer, and you can just rip your CDs directly into it.  Simple.

Best of luck.

+1 @soix Excellent suggestion

About 5 or 6 years years ago, ripped my CD collection to an Innous Zenith MK2  music streamer and boxed my CDs up, and haven't looked back.

I like ripping CDs from my new CD player into my brain, followed by putting the ripped CD back on the shelf. There is some loss due to my weak-ish brain, but amazingly I can just put the CD back in the CD player and listen to it again thus letting my brain off the hook. Win win.

I second dbPoweramp, the paid version. On the PC, a lot of folks use Exact Audio Copy (aka EAC). Having said that, ripping CDs is not for the faint of heart. There's a lot to know in terms of tagging the CDs properly, what file structure, etc. And it's 10x more complicated if you are ripping any classical music. I would suggest, before you buy anything, that you watch some tutorials on YouTube.
