It takes around 20 minutes to rip one CD and as I have over 2,500 CDs in my collection it will take me over 830 hours to do them all. However, when I have tried to rip CDs I have always encountered problems. Johnspain - I am pleased to hear that you have had no problems when ripping CDs on your Cocktailaudio X45Pro.

If you don't know networks, buy a mesh network and plug them in. I got rid of all my cd/sacd players almost 15 years ago.Ĥ) If people play cds or albums because they can read the liner notes, you are missing out on much more important information that Roon provides.ĥ) networks are a problem! There hasn't been a better time to install a robust/secure network than now. iTunes sucks for audio quality though! If you use any of the music apps that run on a computer: Roon, pure music, or a dozen others, you break up the parts of ripping music from the playing music apps.ģ) Its been proven over a dozen years ago that reading music from a HD sounds better than from a CD player.

I become more fixated on the random dropouts, when it is working, that I never relax - always waiting for that sttttuuutter, or dropout that happens to destroy the mood. My CCA just inexplicably disappears as a device to cast to - then it becomes an arcane ritual of rebooting router, modem, laptop, CCA, disable AV, re-enable - the exact sequence to get it back is random, non-repeatable, and mysterious. I’ve had more problems with streaming than with physical media. I do that now with video content - I’ll sit 10, 20, 30 minutes at a time just waffling on what to watch with the endless choices.
