I have a friend that has a large Jazz collection. He comes over to experience music on my systrem with my brand new Roon software. We start the session and he says he has one of his non-mainstream Jazz cd’s (he used to be a Jazz record buyer for a distributor).
He asks for me to play it…
Scenario 1: I insert it on my pc drive… Roon sees it, asks if I want to play it… I hit play. At the same time it plays, Roon rips it to the library.
Once the CD is over, I give it back, but it stays on my library.
Scenatio 2: I insert the disk.
I have to click windows start menu, find the ripping software and click it.
The ripping software opens and
I have to click the options to rip the cd drive.
Then after it finishes ripping, Roon has to import it from music library location.
Then I have to search for it in Roon and hit play.
It does not strike me as the same or a 2 minute job. Ill do it if I must, but its disadvantegeous to the intuitiveness of Roon considering that music cds have to br ripped.
I found this comment on another thread. Yes, this is what is frustrating to me. The only way to play single CD’s and stream it through my apartment would be to load up and rip the CD in the SonicTransporter. Then when I’m done listening to the CD, I would have to erase it from my Roon core.
