What do people use now-a-days to rip audio CDs? I remember
back in the day using Audiograbber and thenAudiocatalyst to
rip to MP3. And then of course used Winamp to play them.
Hello Nigel Reed!

in my hallway, shelves full of CDs and a couple of boxes
under the desk. I really need to get around to cataloging
them.
So.. still no progress with Discogs? ..or with general
scanning of product barcodes?

I use iTunes. Many import options. For a CD that I might like to sell or give away, I like AppleLossless (m4a). I use the AnyAudioConverter to

I don't really like selling or giving away CDs I've ripped
when I intend to keep the files.. I like to hold onto the
CD so I can say I still "own" the album.
Takes time to being them in, stack 'em, go through the bar
codes. Remove stickers from over barcodes, see if they
scan, then figure out which of the many results I want and
restack and then remove them before moving on to the next
batch.
So, no. :)
There's noone you can deligate some of the sorting or de-
stickering to?
Maybe just start with the easy ones that don't have any
stickers blocking the barcodes?
I have a similar dilemma. I promised myself that everytime I
touched a CD to play it, I would then register it into Discogs.
That went well for a handful of CDs, but the system fell apart
when I wanted to play a CD *after* the computers were all shut
down for the night and the pile of "to-do" discs was too much
to do later!
The whole process COULD work if I had ample HDD space to rip
each CD before or after I play it. That process would be an
easy way to file the pertinent info automatically. But.. I
don't have the HDD space for the project.

Easier said that done. That means more time sorting
through, new piles, etc. Still no guarantee the barcode
will scan. Depends on the state of the plastic.

I just ripped them while I was working. It's pretty
automatic. Obviously not everything I have is ripped.

Just get yourself a 4TB hard drive or something.
I have almost 50,000 mp3 files on a 3TB partition of which 2.6T is used, 1.5T of that space is used for videos.
