Joined Jan 11, Messages 59 Likes 9. Yes I really like CD’s. I also now have access to streaming music as well Amazon Music. I used to like LP’s too, but I finally moved on and now there back! I don’t understand the CD’s deteriorate with time thing.

I haven’t run into one yet anyways.. I could just do FLAC, and be done with it. Some recordings I must admit though sound literally like crap. I have remade some of them using Audacity, and they sound better than the originals. Granted there aren’t a lot like this but there are some, even the streamed FLAC ones sound lousy, and why wouldn’t they? There still the same badly engineered recordings.

I’m sure that paragraph alone is worth at least 20 entries into this thread, but these Audacity ones are just for me, and they do sound better to me. Once all these different digital copies are made, whats the best way to actually find and play them? Or just not save them at all and just use streaming instead?

If you do that I’ll take them gladly! I couldn’t give my LP collection away, and they were in just the same shape as my CD collection not one fingerprint! Bsmooth said:. Click to expand Joined Jun 9, Messages Likes DVDdoug Major Contributor.

Your stored files remain intact. The Replay Gain can also be applied to songs streamed from a partner service provided that it makes this information available, such as TIDAL.

Metadata refers to the non-musical information contained in an audio file, for example the title, album, artist, composer, year, or cover artwork. Metadata is essential for browsing, identifying, and sorting your music files. We wanted to give them the place they deserve in your musical experience.

This includes a specific section dedicated to classical music with its dedicated information Soloist, Conductor, Ensemble, Instrument, Style and Period. A data recovery function is also now available. When activated, it allows you to retrieve some information that could be missing for a selected track, album or artist and available on online databases except images.

If you wish to, the app can also check and replace incomplete or inaccurate existing data. The software only creates a default album name using the name of the album folder. Simple ,yet the Audirvanna program has lots of features that are of use. Set highest possible amount of retries – otherwise it will interpolate missing samples. Rip while listening – it won’t be a huge chore that way.

Make backups I use SuperDuper. I have two backups and alternate update only one about every 5 rips. Two backups prevent loosing everything in case of controller malfunction or virus.

I keep one backup at work fire theft etc. I have been doing this for years using Mac mini’s. I configure the bit rate to a higher rate. I have used a few different playback software application audirvana, pure music, others and I prefer Audirvana 2. X with their iPad app to control playing music. IMO, I think dedicated music servers are way over rated and way over priced for what they do. Remember the Sooloos system, all it was good at was displaying content.

If you want something similar, check out roon. The problem with what I see with roon is that it doesn’t sound as good compared to other well known playback software. Also I would stay with Macs using a Mac mini. To get better quality playback, don’t hook up hard disks to your Mac mini.

Purchase either a NAS device or hook these hard drives to a remote server so your music server won’t have any disk drive noise or vibrations coming from these external disks nor will they compete on the same bus that connects to your external dac. However, the unit referred to available here at Audiogon great price! Even by burning in FLAC, you would fall short of internal storage of 2, CDs and would to need external storage to cope, adding another piece to the puzzle.

You guy are great. Thank you for your help! Right now I’ve got three choices: 1. Use my MacBook Air with an external drive 2. The Naim UnitiServe 3. Get a streamer that runs off a nas Number 1 is the least costly. Number 2 is the easiest and as long as I can get a good 5 years of use I see no reason other than budget to get one. Number 3 is attractive in that a streamer would cost less Cambridge Audio CXN and the music would always be on the nas And to answer a couple of questions; My computer is 5 years old and uses USB 2.

Whichever way I go it’s going to be at least a month before I buy anything. I just heard from Kent at Electrostatic Solutions. I sent my Quad speakers to him for some repair.

The repair cost was very reasonable, so reasonable that I’m springing for some upgraded mods, and there goes my budget. I’m thinking that I’ll rip some cds in a casual sort of way and start messing around just using my Macbook and next month make a long term decision. Thank you all again for your input and I certainly don’t mind keeping this thread alive. I would like to hear rips with the Unitiserve. To compound the problem, I found rips via dbpoweramp on a different Macbook sounded totally different.

I guess I am much like Ghosthouse, jump in and take a pragmatic approach. I rip via itunes to AIFF with the error correction. Use both a Macbook pro and a Mac mini. I have found that some CDs do take longer than others, however not 15 min. I use Pure Music for playback. I have had little problem with the learning curve, and enjoy the flexibility of computer audio.

The Macbook pro allows me to take my music where ever I go. I don’t know how to quote others since I am new here, however, I read that the seller of the Naim Unitiserve is including a 6TB external drive for full price offer. I have no affiliation, just trying to help the OP. Good luck! Data loss due to scratches up to about 4mm along the track is automatically corrected by Cross-interleaved Reed-Solomon error correcting code.

Between mm player that operates in real time interpolates samples while scratches longer than 8mm result in pops and clicks. Badly scratched disks can be completely recovered but it can take hours. Itunes went over the same bad CDs much faster meaning that it probably quits and interpolates just after few tries. My GF found some old bare CDs in the glove compartment of her car that had been there for years. Jewel boxes totally MIA. Scratched, stained, and stuck together.

I cleaned them up as best I could and XLD turned a sow’s ear into a silk purse. I couldn’t believe it. YMMV but it taught me to put a little more effort into the ripping process. Of course, I would never treat my CDs that way.

Update: I’ve begun ripping my cds. I am using iTunes as the software. Settings are AIFF with error correction on. My first couple of cds ripped at about x. All subsequent cds dropped to about x. No idea why. My cds are all mint. No visible scratches or dust. I’m ready to give dbpoweramp a try.

Does anyone know if it manages files as well as iTunes? Thanks in advance, Bob. That speed change. It’s why I think it is good to cold boot from time to time. I have no technical explanation for this. Except I could regain ripping speed by cold-booting. I used Superdrive as well. Then they speed up to 2X, 4X, etc. For me, 8X isn’t bad. I use AIFF as well. Disk space is cheap and it’s compatible with both iTunes and other software that isn’t compatible with ALAC.

FLAC is my first choice but it’s not compatible with Apple. I have no experience with dbPoweramp so I can’t advise. There’s a nifty piece of software, Tag Editor, you will probably find handy at some point. Finally, echoing what someone else wrote, when I’m ripping I’m listening. I set a goal of CDs at a time and have a nice listening session while I’m at it.

My guess is that there’s plenty of hidden treasures in your library that your ripping project will help you rediscover. The easiest is to send the CDs to a CD ripping service. The best service, in terms of quality and service is: ReadyToPlay. I have no links with them other than being a happy customer. They will make sure that all metadata is transferred correctly with pictures et all.

And the sound quality is the best. I’ve found that the music from ReadyToPlay rips sounding better than my own rips using my own dBpoweramp on my desktop PCs. Bob, Please stop ripping with iTunes and download and try the free XLD app on your mac as recommended by a number of people above. There are a couple of reasons why: 1 XLD guarantees bitperfect rips and reports if there are any errors.

So you can change settings to rip more quickly and adjust to slower reading only when you are dealing with a scratched up disc. As long as you get “No errors reported” you’re good to go. It’s free for mac and if you read computeraudiophile forums so you see that it is proven and preferred for a majority of mac users. Ripping with XLD will eliminate the issue. Trust me on this.

Replies 3 Views Select Library to open the hidden user Library folder. Click to expand In any case it gave me many frustrating hours till I worked out what was going on. If you are a Mac user, you can also synchronize your iTunes Music library in the same manner. I am as much of a collector as I am a listener. I wonder if they use it.
