Dealing with a mass of CD's just seems unnecessary these days. Don't really have a convenient place to store them and I find I don;t listen to music as much if I have to plow through rows of CD's.
Rip em' all as flac files to a NAS and be done with it is what I'm going for. Most of the music I collect these days is pulled from Youtube. OR, I stream from Amazon Music, Spotify, etc. Once done, a free service like Plex which works well with a NAS will help categorize and let you play your collection back, all from your laptop or phone.
