I was wanting to rip all of my DVD's and Blurays into a library for easy access. Currently I have all of my music in my office computer and any time I get new CD's, I just add them to iTunes.
I have an Apple TV (3rd gen) in my family room system which is our only TV in the house. I also have Sonos through out the house for music. We have a mix of PC and Apple devices in the house. My office computer is a Vista machine, (don't laugh, it's a Sony all-in-one that has been pretty good. I could upgrade it to Win7 Pro but I would have to add more memory).
1) What software are you guys using for ripping CD's? 2) I want to move all my music from my PC just in case something happens and the computer dies one day. I'd also like to have a spot where all my movies would be located. Would a server with Plex be the way to go or something else like a networked hard drive? 3) What would be a slick way to run a media server? I was thinking about a mac mini or something. ??
I don't need/want anything crazy. Just simple to setup and use. Something that I could even sell to my customers for their libraries, if they wanted.
