That would have been my recommendation too.

While the Nimble would be a handy 'tool' for ripping CDs, one would still be left with the task of sorting of the metadata into the lists (artist, genre, etc.) they prefer. Unless, of course, it is able to read one's mind.

CD ripping

Not to mention making sure that the rip has no errors! As they say, there is no free lunch... Last edited by nicoff; 09-29-2018 at 01:01 PM. |

Naim’s ripping app does an amazing job of filling in the metadata very well. It even creates a virtual CD booklet which i think might give Roon a run for its money. (And it’s free) But for metadata - Roon fills up my music library pretty well. But I don’t have much classical music which I hear is the biggest bugbear for metadata.

I am in the process of ripping a group of CDs and I am amazed at the variation in the metadata from different database sources. And that includes even the names of the albums!
While there is no doubt that the Aurender (or any other) automated approach is convenient, I am certain that it will require a good amount of metadata fixes (particularly with classical discs). Of course the metadata can be fixed if files are stored in a traditional computer hard drive. Not sure how easy it is to fix if files are stored inside a device with proprietary software like I presume the Aurender and other machines use. |

Is the ACS10 available? Is not shown on their website. Perhaps it is too new.
