I am sorry to hear about your divorce. You and your wife bought your cd collection with your own earned money I see no problem in ripping half the collection for each other. Once you own it, you own it! I do not believe you intend to share it with the public as you seem to be a bit behind the times when it comes to media servers, hardware and software etc. I too suggest mac mini using EAC or Media Monkey for transfer onto a large hard drive and passing the digital signal to a quality DAC. Best of luck to you both.
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.
