BlueSound not ripping small label/Euro CDs-any ideas

Folks; I am, admittedly, a computer neanderthal and many ideas presented in various forums leave me frozen but I bet I am not alone in my Bluesound dilemma.  I have a ton of small label, underground and/or euro cds that the bluesound will not rip..sometimes it will get a song or two and quit-at best.  I can likely connect an off-board cd drive to my computer and transfer the cds to a thumb drive and then into the bluesound.  any thoughts?  I find the tech support often super frustrating with BS, thus, I am trying here first.

Rip with a PC. I like dBPowerAmp.

For obscure tracks you might have to enter titles manually.

As you said you should be able to transfer tracks to the BS but you might need someone who has done it (if possible) to guide you through.

All my SSDs are discrete and I can load them across the network from another floor.

I found this:

but I don't know how to implement the procedures.

I am sure there must be a way to get tracks onto the internal drive, probably via the network but you'll have to find it through research or trial and error. I can't solve it for you without your hardware.
