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?
Don’t bother ripping. Just buy a 300 cd changer
I had one from Sony a long time ago. It even had a cable you could attach between two of 'em (600 CDs!) so that it could seamlessly start playing another track while loading the next song. I dropped it during a move and the next time I opened the door, it spit gears at me. I had intended to fix it some day, but started watching Hoarders and decided it wasn’t worth it.
