Yes, do it. CDs are a bore to store, select and play. Rip them to a NAS, ideally a ripping NAS such as RipNAS that has all the software you need to rip, identify and store track details and artwork.
I still have drawers full of CDs but that's where they stay. I prefer FLAC files as the metadata is more stable. My own view is don't bother to fix dodgy metadata - it a very time consuming and boring job - but use Windows (or whatever) to move badly files folders into their right places (Beethoven in a single Beethoven folder, rather than having to mess about with Ludvig, etc) and then use your streamer's Folder browse to quickly find what you want. Make big master folders such as Classical, Non-Classical, World Music or whatever, so you can get straight into the type of music that takes your fancy.
RipNAS - brilliant - uses dBpoweramp as someone else recommended
Sonos - brilliant user-interface but not particularly hi-fi and no high res
NAD M12 with BluOS board - the bee's knees as far as I'm concerned and uses Bluesound Controller on a PC which is sooo much better than UPnP-based ones.
