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?
In most cases yes, but hdd space is cheap enough that lossless compression is just the best option. Can always use them as originals to spin off mp3s or other compressed files when needed.
300cds would only be around 120 gigs flac compressed
