Yes. I am about to embark upon Phase I of the Great Ripping. I'm not sure how it will go. (If anyone knows how to get an disc autoloader like the Nimbie NB21 or its ilk to play nice with Exact Audio Copy, let me know) But I am faced with an even more interesting challenge: trying to do this for my mom and one of my ... technically-challenged friends. What I want for them is something like a Roku app that they can pick out some section of music that I've partitioned off or ripped for them and just let it go. My mom would like a Motown station and some Noisy Nineties as well; my friend would dig on the alternative eighties and probably a custom "ethereal" station with a hint of darkwave. Sure, I can rip 'em. Got a Python script that will transcode to high-end MP3s and renormalize the audio. But the part where I attach some directory and its files, or a playlist, or whatever, to something easy regular people can just navigate to, click click click, this seems to be kind of an interesting challenge. And for me, I don't want to listen to, as Pictures for Sad Children would be paraphrased "Whatever is on Spotify ... played at a reasonable volume." I have some very rare, very weird stuff I would like to listen to at times. Rather than worry about licensing games, well, I'd like to listen to what I have. It isn't trivial, by any means.
