![]() It's a major pain to have to go through all that just to get tracks off your disc and onto your music server.īlu-Ray can be done and it doesn't require any special hardware. So you can't just buy a new one, it has to be an old one that was never updated past that specific firmware. And it needs to be at a specific firmware. Finding music becomes much easier as well.Ĭlick to expand.SACD can be ripped only via a PS3 game console. Blu-Ray discs can take a lot of time to load, while you can play music instantaneously from a music server if you extract the music from your Blu-Ray disc and put it on the server.Īnother major benefit is that you can shuffle music to play your entire collection - without ever having to touch a disc. It brings an extreme level of convenience as you never have to load or change discs. ![]() These types of systems can be configured in many ways. I can stream music from it by using a computer that's connected via HDMI to my stereo (receiver, separate DAC, etc.) or I can use UPNP/DLNA to stream using my Android tablet to my networked stereo (receiver, separate DAC, etc). In my home, I have a "NAS" - Networked Attached storage - which is basically an external networked hard drive. There could also be other dedicated devices (made by Logitech, Roku, etc.) that bring a new user interface in seeing the music on your hard drive and streaming it to your audio system. ![]() Or it could be a separate hard drive, connected directly to your stereo equipment via USB or network. It can be a computer that has your music files on it's hard drive. I'm now in the middle of the tedious task of ripping all my DVD-A and Blu-Ray music and concerts.Ĭlick to expand.The way I use the term "music server" is very broad. I have now boycotted SACD's since the music is so difficult to rip (needs special equipment). I wanted the ability to rip the individual tracks and place them on my music server. The Blu-Ray gives you access to also download the music in hi-rez from a website, but it's only available in 2-channel.Īlso, I have tons of great Blu-Ray concerts. Blu-Rays are slow to load, then add the time spent looking at the mandatory FBI warnings, label displays, etc. Recently, I purchased Tom Petty's Damn the Torpedo's album in Blu-Ray as it has 5.1 uncompressed recordings. But they don't make it easy to take that music off discs (SACD, DVD-A, Blu-Ray) as a flac file to be placed on a music server.
