Easier than
1 2 3, RipNAS manages CD Ripping in just 1 step: Insert Audio CD, metadata is retrieved from 4 metadata providers (AMG, GD3, MusicBrainz, freedb) with quality album art, spelling mistakes are automatically corrected using PerfectMeta™. CD is ripped using the respected dBpoweramp ripping engine to a lossless format of choice, audio files are automatically shared for streaming.
Around 3-4 minutes later the CD is ejected, ready for the next disc.
