I don't have a CD player anymore, except for in my truck.
No CD/CD-ROM/DVD on my computers.
I have 2 large shelves (500+ maybe?) of CD's that I can only listen to in my 14 yr old Toyota Tacoma pick up.
The PS4 plays Blu-ray, so it may play CD's, too.
I hadn't thought about that until just now, but the TV I have my Ps4 hooked up to isn't a great sound system.....
@GrouchoTex Go get you a USB portable CD/DVD reader/writer... Looks like a laptop DVD with a USB cord out the back... About 35 bucks...
Then go DL just about any cd/dvd burning software... I can recommend
CDBurnerXPAlmost any burner software has an automated rip routine specifically made for ripping songs off of CDs. It is a simply painless process that at today's speeds will be over in a few minutes...
Make sure you have the drive space... 250g should be plenty, at least to start...
Make a music workshop folder, with an interior folder called rip.
Insert a cd, cancel out of whatever is trying to happen automatically. When its all calmed down, fire up the burner software, actuate the rip routine, point it's output to ..\music workshop\rip\
make sure it is using .mp3 or .ogg (really, stay in mp3) and tell it to go.
When the rip is done, go to the \rip\ folder, make sure the mp3's are there... copy the ENTIRE fileset (there may be other than mp3's, folder art, etc... put it in a properly named folder, and dump it into your music repository... for the moment, ...\Music Workshop\
You have just made an electronic album.
Make sure the \rip folder is empty, eject, repeat.
I would recommend NOT putting your home burned library inside of \Music, like windows will want you to do... Mine is a separate file structure along with my movies and etc... under \Media\ on another whole drive.
Really man, handled a few cds at a time every night, you'll have that whole thing ripped down in no time. I don't eveb have my originals any more... Haven't for decades.
Once you have the electronic media, you can push it onto any device you'd like. My phone holds my entire library. I can pull up an album and play it in the truck, piped by way of bluetooth to the radio (well, head unit really), playing right through the native sound system.
In the house, the library resides primarily on my media machine (runs my TV, w/ sound piped through an amp to house speakers) and is shared via Windows Media Player, and can be piped via streaming to any machine in the house.
Seriously worth doing.
