It's true that

the initial ripping of your library takes a goodly amount of time. Was it worth it?

Absolutely! Once you've crossed over to the world of server based music, you spend more time listening than locating and shuffling disks from shelves, in and out of transports, and back again. You rediscover content that you forgot about because you can have the player randomly go through your library. Across all genres. Across one. Create a playlist on the fly. Use a smart phone based remote at your listening position. Or out in the yard or by the pool.

It also means that your digital library is accessible across all the systems in your home. I used to burn CDR copies of content for the garage system. I can listen at night via IEMs in the bedroom streaming from my iPad.

For new music, ripping one disk and adding to server library takes only a couple of minutes.

It is truly a beautiful thing. And, BTW I'm an older boomer, too. Still have two turntables (one purchased in '76), but I end up spending more time playing from the server.
