Divorcing..Splitting the cd collection..

Unfortunately my wife and I are divorcing. We have about 1000 cd's of which we both cherish very much.
We know splitting up the collection will be very hard if not impossible.
I suggested ripping ,if that is the right terminology ,to some kind of music server unit and make two copies so we both could enjoy the entire collection.As you probable can tell my knowledge in this area is very limited..almost nil.
Does this seem possible?
I am retiring so will have lots of time.
Any suggestions ,direction or sites that could get me started will be very much appreciated.
I should add I do not want to go the cheapest route as we/I (maybe) have a decent system and enjoy music very much.

Thanks for all the suggestions.I am a little smarter and certainly will start doing my homework.
There is no chance of kissing and making up.
We have mutually agreed on the division of everything except the cd collection.Our music tastes are identical so "you take what you like and I take what I like " will not work.
It took several years and thousands of $$$$$ to piece that collection together.We do not have any children so the cd collection became our "pride and joy" providing thousands of hours of listening pleasure.
As I stated my knowledge with ripping or copying music is very limited if not nil.
I have never owned a MP3 player ..IPOD ..whatever ...always paying for the cd..over a thousand.
If it was not for the break-up ripping or copying music would never have entered my mind.
So Pgawan2b cut me some slack .To date I have put alot of money into that hand.
Does it make copying music right ..NO...
Does it allow two close to retiring music lovers the chance to continue to enjoy something that took years to assemble...YES.....
