The thought of ripping copious amounts of CDs and making sure all the metadata and album covers are correct is more stressful than the thought of moving house.I hate moving house
Can't stop thinking about the fact that copious boxes of books, records, CDs and DVDs could be replaced by a NAS, a couple endpoints and a Kobo.
Sorry. Just wanted to rant a little

For max convenience, best sound quality and features, but the closest approach to using physical media would be Roon with all your favourite albums saved to the Roon Library. That way you can browse all your albums covers and enjoy reading cover notes and other associated metadata. You’ll need a Tidal or Qobuz streaming account for Roon. When you add albums from either of those streaming services it appears in the library alongside any locally stored files (e.g. the albums you own but aren’t available to stream).True
I am just really lazy tbh
Maybe Spotify is the life for me after all
when ripping it is recommended to do it slow... ripping fast causes unnecessary painJust rip the stuff that isn’t on Quboz/Tidal/Spotify.
I ripped everything years ago a complete pain.

Minimalism means getting rid of unnecessary ballast. Like superfluous objects, rusty friendships and activities that serve no important purpose. Only what brings joy and is satisfying remains. Minimalism maximizes what is meaningful and valuable. It has nothing to do with renunciation, deprivation and asceticism. Those who live a minimalist life do not waste time, money and energy on unimportant things and get more out of life.
