wanting to learn about going digital

Deluk:
Advice: Back up all of your music onto an outboard hard drive. A 3tb one is small and not too expensive for the security it gives you. Picture and video files too. If your PC HD goes POP you may not be able to access them again and you will be very sad! Also means you can plug the hard drive into a laptop if you wish, to make perhaps a more convenient music source/server.

Tubejack:
Just to add input, I also love and use Roon (catalog) and Qobuz (digital online hi rez files.)  However, I have used EAC for over a decade to rip some 800+ CDs into .flac.  Maybe it's just familiarity of use, but I find it as a dedicated ripper easy to use and to catalog its output, and album pic search.

Jay:
I've been messing with PCs since about 1993 and have never had a hard drive fail - I'm certainly way overdue :)  I do have my photos backed up.  I have only ripped a dozen or so CDs so far (using EAC), but backup early and often, right?  I may need to update the USB ports on my entertainment PC to use an external SSD.
