How to rip my entire CD collection
It made me
more organized
 "Since i sit in front of the computer too much anyway, it was a time efficient way to secure songs, files, and data, and save a lot of space."
How I did it: I bought a 1T Western Digital external hard drive (for only $110) and spent the weekend putting my CDs into my computer. I set up Windows media player to automatically rip the CD and store in on my hard drive. Doing that, it only took about 4-5 minutes per CD. I had a total of about 180. Definitely worth it. Lessons & tips: Set up Windows media player to automatically rip the CD and automatically eject the CD when it's done. That way all you have to do it put in the CD.

Computer Problems
6 months ago
Been having some computer issues lately, attempted to reinstall Windows quite a few times in the last week, one thing or the other was borked. Going to get back to my CD ripping, when I posted on 43Folders that I would rip all of them I intended to, and I still most definitely do, but a lot of things have gotten in the way in the last 2 years. Such is life.
CD Ripping
6 months ago
I guess I forgot about this goal on 43Things from ages ago. I’m working on it again, ripping at a higher quality than before, still with DBPowerAmp on a newer dual core computer. I am also making an effort to get rid of the CDs I won’t listen to anymore and putting them into storage boxes. I am back on this goal, going to assess the others as well.

I added this to my list over two years ago…
and I finally bought an IPOD instead of trying to stab myself in the eye AKA use Windows media player…I am happy to say that as I type this I only have about 20 cd’s left to rip…this goal might be finished by the end of the week!!!

I just finished the last few CDs that i put off because i don’t listen to them often. I got a big LaCie drive so i figure i might as well use the space. iTunes was cranking through the songs so fast i could hardly keep up. Art Collector took care of the album art, and when i play the songs, pearLyrics will add the lyrics automatically. Sweet!

I’ll do that with Exact Audio Copy, FLAC codec and storing the files in a mirrored ZFS pool.
Heart - The Road Home
18 months ago
This was one of my favorite CDs a few years ago. It features acoustic versions of some of their greatest hits, as well as some covers and original songs. “Alone” is my favorite, and “These Dreams” is much better than the original, in my opinion. There’s also a really good interview with Ann and Nancy in the liner notes.

Finally Done
19 months ago
The last CD is being ripped as I type. I decided to skip doing a few CDs that I know I really don’t listen to all that often. The plan there is to rip them the next time I grab them off the shelf. Feels good to be done.
