Divorcing..Splitting the cd collection..

Unfortunately my wife and I are divorcing. We have about 1000 cd's of which we both cherish very much.
We know splitting up the collection will be very hard if not impossible.
I suggested ripping ,if that is the right terminology ,to some kind of music server unit and make two copies so we both could enjoy the entire collection.As you probable can tell my knowledge in this area is very limited..almost nil.
Does this seem possible?
I am retiring so will have lots of time.
Any suggestions ,direction or sites that could get me started will be very much appreciated.
I should add I do not want to go the cheapest route as we/I (maybe) have a decent system and enjoy music very much.

Take turns choosing original CD's to keep, once chosen make copies of the half that is not yours. Each gets half the originals and have copies.

A good quality blank CD burned at a slow speed on a decent burner can equal the original.

the value or worth is in the original purchased copies.

You should buy her an inexpensive computer with a large hard drive and you and she could load all of the CDs into iTunes. It will take awhile and maybe you two will make up in the meantime.

Like T-bone, I too can not recommend copying the music.

I find this thread quite ironic. By recommending a method to copy music, aren't we biting the very hand that feeds us?

As an amateur musician, perhaps I'm a bit sensitive to this topic. Fortunately, I don't have to rely on the sales from my performances or product to support my family.
