Regarding automation, dBpoweramp (reference- with batch rip) and four Nimbie auto loading drives would allow 400 discs to be ripped at once.
https://www.dbpoweramp.com/batch-ripper.htm Nimbie - Acronova The time spent on loading, unloading the drives plus any disc errors/metadata issues is something I don't like dealing with. If that resonates with you, there is The service provided by Murfie, https://www.murfie.com , that will RIP, store, and host all your CDs. If you don't like any of the above, streaming services are the most convienient, low cost of entry, ways of accessing, listening and getting deeper into music. All the metadata,ripping, storing, hosting, and so on is handled by someone else. |

This is converse to using subscription streaming media and a sub 1000 CD collection. You spent a great deal of money on your music. Size (discs/albums) is what used to suggest, to those who ask about servers, as one of the important factors. The bigger the library the less need for subscription media services. Of course you can do it all. Personally, I use Roon, Tidal, and iTunes. In Roon, I have ~5,000 CDs of my own and ~12,000 "Albums" from Tidal. I would not have spent $120,000 (~$10/CD) on the Tidal albums but it's awesome to lease the music. Last edited by o0OBillO0o; 02-29-2016 at 11:43 PM. |

Not surprisingly, this is a pretty informed group. We got back into music when we saw an Olive 04HD at our local dealer about 5 years ago. Bought it, no longer use it in the main system, but no regrets. What I did learn, when getting out of the Olive eco-system was that a portable, well-curated library is likely the most valuable part of your audio system. Switched to JRiver, for library management and playback. There are a great number of excellent playback options out there from headless Mac Minis to purpose built servers to consumer friendly devices (Sonos, Bluesound), even smart TV's and DVD players. We use a variety of devices/software in different locations with differing levels of playback fidelity that all access the same library on a NAS. Life is good.
