CD Ripping
CD Ripping is now available on all exaSound streamers and music servers with the free firmware Update 23. External USB CD-ROM is required. Powered USB hub can be used if there are no free USB ports. CD Ripping is enabled from the web user interface in Manual or Autostart modes. CD data is retrieved with very high accuracy and stored on internal or attached USB drive. Metadata - album title, artist and track names are downloaded from the CDDB database. For superior user experience and the best metadata accuracy automated CD ripping should be used with Roon. Roon's cloud-based intelligent library management service corrects and enhances the CD metadata.
