I rip my CDs to SSD in my music server. My CDs are stored in the basement.

I'm kinda the opposite of Jedrider's daughter - I don't know how to "rip" my CDs to a hard drive *conveniently*. I've used Sound Forge to do that a few times for record albums, but then I have to chop up the recording to separate the tracks into, well, tracks, or record each track separately, both of which are a PITA.If you can point me to a good Windoze-based "ripping" software where I can eliminate the agonzing part of it, I will install my brand spankin' new 1 TB drive which has been sitting on a shelf for 2 years, AND, I'll be eternally grateful.

The best software for ripping LP's is probably Pure Vinyl by Channel D but it's for Mac only and it's a bit pricey. Click HERE for the review.There's an inmate here who uses Vinyl Studio which is supposed to be pretty good and not very difficult. It's available for Mac and Windows. I'm not sure that it eliminates ALL the agony of ripping vinyl but I believe it has some 'automation' built-in.
I just used the free Audacity software which runs on Mac & Windows but it's very 'manual' in nature. I rip the entire side one then side two of my album in two separate very large files. I then used Audacity's editing feature to 'separate' the individual tracks and input the metadata.There's a link below that describes how to use Audacity to rip vinyl. I'm not sure how current it is so it may differ slightly from the latest version of Audacity.

Thank you very much!
I'd also like to rip some of my CDs. That was my point before I got side-tracked into my story about ripping vinyl.
Anyway, I'll brush up on Audacity. I've heard about it for years, but never really knew its capabilities. Turns out, my son uses it for recording audio, so I'll pick his brain a little.
Thanks again.

dbPoweramp is my favorite. Free application EAC works, but is not nearly as convenient nor does it offer other features like bulk transcoding.
I'm sorry, but I find that sad.
I love digging through my albums & CD's looking for inspiration.
Besides that, I spent all this money on equipment to play it, now I have to spend more money & time on equipment to not play it.

I will never stop buying the physical discs, I love sifting through my 3000 and counting, disc collection!!!
I still enjoy fighting with the packaging, reading the booklet, and playing them. Much like I did with vinyl.
On another note, I do all my reading on a Kindle. Appreciate hard copy books, but being able to lookup words in the electronic dictionary, search for previous sections and names is great.
Cheers!

I love digging through my albums & CD's looking for inspiration.Me too, as I scroll thru my albums and metadata on the iPad remote control running the Roon app. What's a CD player? ;-)

Like the old Yellow Pages ad used to say, "let your fingers do the walking!"
