Hi
I'm new to the forum, and have been reading the old threads, but have a specific scenario I would appreciate some guidance with. My 2011 project is to rerip my entire CD collection c2000 Albums to flac and have an MP3 version for my iPhone etc
I purchased RIPNAS essentials and a Teac drive to use with an HP Mediasmart 3TB server and have got it running, and have been experimenting with the software. Really impressed with the capabilities
I am now aware that secure ripping is not available in the RipNAS essentials version I have, so I'd like to understand how significant not having the secure ripping will be?
Would buying the standalone RIPNAS device to get secure ripping be an option?
Would it be better to use another setup to create the files then move to the Mediasmart server?
I am choosing to rip flac at level 8, are they other recommendations to ensure I won't need to repeat or restart the exercise?
Any suggestions on the MP3 settings as well?
