Morning
Looking for a mid winter project. I would like to rip my CD collection and playback on the ultra.
So I have about 700 disc. A LG UHD disc player. How do I go about putting them on a HD to connect?
I gather I should use EAC or dbpower for software. Is their a certain way to set up the file system.
Any suggested tutorial to watch?
Thanks

Back in the day computers had built in cd/dvd drives.
Do you have a drive that can connect to the computer via usb?

Both those pieces of software have been suggested here, yes.
Personally I used eac because it was free and did what I needed. It performed a lookup to pre-populate the cd info and cover art, the info could update before ripping (I hated when song titles had typos!), and ripped to flac with a template file structure/ file name.
Any tagging errors found later can easily be fixed with programs like mp3tag.

I don't think there's a 'certain' way to set up the file system, but something like a top level 'Music' folder than contains a folder per artist which each contain a folder per album is one way.
The file names themselves are often something like track number - track title, where track number is always two digits so it orders nicely as a string when you look in the folder.
Maybe even disk number track number track title.

Depending on how you access the files you might rely solely on the tags, so some might argue that the physical file structure is somewhat irrelevant.
Do you intend the plug the HD into the ultra's usb port? If so, others here might have some tips as the media server used within the ultra is more limited than most.

I'd imagine a quick internet search for how to rip cd using eac / dbpower would throw up a few instructions / videos.
