An aquantance of mine has a CD collection and wants to rip it. They don’t want to stream it over a server but rather store it, say, on a hard drive connected directly to their speakers/receiver.
While they **don’t want to stream ** it wirelessly to/from their phone, they do want to control selection/playback.
Kind of like a remote controlled jukebox or, well, a really big CD player.
I am thinking there’s probably some raspberry pi project to play on-device music library that has a remote control library plug-in over LAN. I’d also like there to be a backup option, like a Pi GUI so they could see their library on the TV.
I’m envisioning an interface similar to the retro game players or kodi.
Does this exist?
FYI ripping wise, FLAC is the way to go.
And there are guides to using EAC and similar ripping software to get perfect rips.
Well worth the effort to do it once and perfectly.
