I’ve been building up my digital music library again after giving music streaming the boot. I was going to attempt to digitize my CD and vinyl collection, but I frankly don’t have the time for all that. So I thought I might turn to file-sharing and download digital versions of my physical collection. I prefer FLAC or WAV if the former isn’t available. Can you recommend good places to get started?

      Spotify rippers (they come and go like waves on a beach)

      Real ones? Seems like most of them use Spotify to identify music then rip from elsewhere like youtube.

      I use Zotify when I get to the “rip from Spotify” level, but would be happy to add another couple options if there’s more solid ones out there.
