One of my hobbies is buying used CDs on discogs or from my local record store and ripping them with ExactAudioCopy. I use Picard (gui) and metaflac (CLI) to manually edit the tags. For each album's comment I try to put the artists involved and the album liner notes, if any.
For a web player, Navidrome is excellent. I use the play:Sub iOS app to access it on my phone and stream to my apple tv, which is connected to my audio stack. I also stream to my bose color link II bluetooth speakers.
I also subscribe to apple music via the family apple one plan. Generating a station based on a song usually leads to decent results, at least for jazz.

- huimang 4y agoThat's how I got into CD ripping - in order to build ratio for what.cd. It no longer exists but if you search around there are other similar sites.
