Building your music digital music collection
Hello all, just looking for some pointers on how to go about building your own storage library of music which is better than digital streaming (tidal/qobuz). I guess it is the uncompressed wav files or maybe dsd where applicable. From what I understand Flac is compressed.
I am doing just streaming now, but I think having offline collection and room might be useful.
I'm still setting up my digital audio chain. Like many, I have planned to rip my CDs to hard disk in a Roon Nucleus+ by DBpoweramp where I plan to stream via Qobuz and maybe Tidal also. My Linn DAC/streamer will be connected directly to the internet. Are you guys suggesting that I'm wasting my time with this ripping? |
+1 @ghdprentice I see no point in ripping / storing content that is available via streaming (I use Roon with Qobuz). However, I do rip CDs to my NAS when that content is not available online. I have a bunch of obscure titles and CDs I picked up traveling around the world, and it doesn't look like any of that material is available via most streaming services. |
