fdastoor Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I want to rip some CD's that I own and add the music to an QNAP NAS that is part of the system. What is the best way to do this? I have Media Composer. Thru Windows Media Player? What does the 'ADD' button on the Media Composer do and how should it be used? I have composer version 2.10.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Best option is store it on the qnap. Setup DLNA and use the c4 DLNA driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdastoor Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 I know how to rip the CD. I do it in Windows Media Player. How do I get the files on to the NAS. Can I copy the files from Media Player and directly paste it into the server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lippavisual Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Easiest is to set WMP to save the file to the NAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would highly recommend you become familiar with Linux/GNU principles and commands if you're going to have and use a NAS. Also familiarize yourself with mounting network drives in Windows and your life using Windows with a NAS will become much easier. QNAP should also have some support documentation to help you tackle this. 6 hours ago, fdastoor said: I know how to rip the CD. I do it in Windows Media Player. Would also recommend that unless you've added some plugins, you don't use WMP to rip CDs if you care about quality. You'll likely want to rip to FLAC as it's going to be better quality than mp3 and the same quality as WAV, but a smaller footprint with lossless compression. Not a Windows user (Linux and Mac) outside a VM to run Composer HE, but I believe programs like VLC and Exact Audio Copy still can handle the task on Windows just fine.
