It’s what you get when you fall really badly and hurt your backWhat's a compact disc?
I do not understand what you are saying here. Can you clarify it for me?Not just everything that comes in the door is worth performing the rigid order of operation anything going into the library on disk is worth doing up front for. Then again, some of those discs only stand a chance through being ripped at the most painstakingly slow and deliberately secure levels.
Aye Aye !-I resemble that Rue de Remarque ! You talking about Moi?Just as there is a group of old geezers playing records, someday it will not be surprising to see the same with CDs. Perhaps they are amongst us now.

I apologize if I triggered some sensitivity of yours. I actually intended the question to be completely neutral, as I personally have a compact disc collection totaling around 200 CDs.
Other than trying to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, perhaps, I was not intending to be pejorative or disparaging toward compact discs.
You see the title of the thread is a simple, neutral question. I asked a positive question; I did not intend to make a normative declaration. In fact, I did not make a normative declaration.
And neither vinyl nor analog was mentioned or implied.
Again, I am sorry that I offended you.

Hmm. When I rip a multi-channel SACD with my 105 (connected via Ethernet) it usually takes ~20 min (and not uncommonly more to then tag correctly), compared to the 4-5 min more typical for an 80 minute CD (with correct tagging in almost all instances). To me that is time-consuming, but YMMVNope. What I meant by that is that not all releases can be obtained by download yet, so I am still forced to rip some SACDs. Of course, there are others that are available only as download but we are just "getting there."
Thanks again - just found it a https://hifihaven.org/index.php?threads/rip-sacd-with-a-blu-ray-player.3652/ . It looks much more straightforward than the old sacd_extract. I already have the Pioneer BD160, I will give it a try soon.SACDExtractGUI
Could be but I am doing other things while that happens in the background. My actual attention to the task is a minute to get it going and, perhaps, some time for tagging. I do not obsess about tagging but do it in batches when the spirit moves me.Hmm.

Good luck. From what I have seen the Oppos are the easiest and the Sonys are the most variable but the Pioneer is in the middle. The first 2-3 rips will seem tedious because you have to read and think about each step but it quickly becomes automatic.Thanks again - just found it a https://hifihaven.org/index.php?threads/rip-sacd-with-a-blu-ray-player.3652/ .

I may be one of those old geezers! I ONLY play CDs - my preamp only has one input, and I gave all my vinyl away to a friend.

I'll have you know I look forward to my evening sessions with the "maligned" silver disc.
In my 8th decade now certainly a tad easier to manage than the Liquorice Pizza--which Oh I still do enjoy!
Good listening to all

For those who don't understand the word antigua, it believe it means "ancient". Without any bias towards any media, if CD's are ancient, what are LP's (33, 45, and 78 rpm) and R2R tapes?So no death and rebirth for you guys. Enjoy your media antigua!
