Music library

[Boubou]

I have been ripping my CD music library with dBpoweramp CD Ripper, they have a 30 day free demo. And I just downloaded their free 30 day UPnP demo to stream to my stereo using my iPad to control , wow. It works flawlessly. Love it
I have been using Apple Music , but I might get tired to pay every month, it’s something I wanted to do for a while , I have 152 albums in the library so far, 2089 tracks. Some more to go. All encoded FLAC

I have a ton of vinyl I’d love to make digital. Even have the turntable as long as it still works.

Yeah my pile of vinyl is about 3 feet wide, though a lot of them I bought the CD’s , I don’t know if there is a practical way of recording them on a of a separating the tracks, though you could just record each side and call it a day

I’ve wondered the same about separating tracks. Gotta be an easy way. Just haven’t really looked into it.

Been buying albums since something like 69/70 range. I have counted, but it’s been awhile and not remembering right now. I also have mom and dad’s vinyl dating back into the 50s.

Back in the day….
I’ve used Reaper for this(although for cassette tapes from local bands etc), and an old program called CD Architect from Sony…if I wanted to keep continuity between track markers. This was pre 2010 for me.
Analog source was plugged into my interface, recorded audio in Reaper, rendered to Wav file dropped into CD Architect, placed track markers, naming tracks as I went, rendered a CD image. Back then I might burn to disk, but later I used the disc images to drop to iTunes using Apple Lossless codec.
Nowadays…
I’d just place track markers in Reaper, naming as I went, and render the marked regions to whatever lossless codec I could find in my codec library…preferably flak, or alac. But I haven’t “needed” to do this since I gave that rig a rest. Reaper can be setup to render in bulk like that…not just one track at a go…unless you want to do that.

Thanks for the info. I think I knew Abelton worked. Not surprised Reaper does as well.
