Physical media like vinyl or CDs are only used if it‘s rare or hard to get material that isn‘t digitally available. I buy my music from several lossless music store, mainly Bandcamp, Boomkat, Qobuz and Bleep.
I’m always looking for improved workflow so let me know what works for you. I’d be interested in what other software tools Roon users are using to process and synchronize their music files. Once ripped, I need a way to make sure I have synchronized them with multiple disks including the internal storage on the ROCK. My point is, I have multiple folders and versions of music for different purposes. (Only CD or greater resolutions are synched to Roon)
I can use it to synchronize my archives across locally attached external drives or across the network to Roon’s ROCK server’s internal or external storage. Next, I’ll use Allway Sync ‘n’ Go to synchronize my newly ripped files into existing archives - here is where Allway Sync ‘n’ Go is a lifesaver. I also set the conversion to highest resolution possible as I want the lossy files to be as good as they can be for phone sound quality without using any additional software other than the Plex app. I then use DBPowerAmp’s Batch Converter to convert the JRiver processed CD FLAC or downloaded FLAC or DSF files to M4A so that I can serve and sync low res files from my Plex server (no transcoding) to my iPhone. I also do audio analysis with JRiver on the newly ripped or downloaded files prior to any duplication or conversions. I then use JRiver to tag and rename the files CD ripped or downloaded files to meet the Plex server’s file naming recommendations (Artist - Title/TrackNo Track). phone or chord mojo DAC)įor CD ripping I use Exact Audio Copy to get the best rips possible from my purchased CDs. I buy CDs or download HiRes albums and create multiple versions for the purpose of streaming to mobile or higher res capable devices (i.e. The software I use is not free, but it is reliable and is great for when you rip several CDs or convert HiRes downloads in various file formats (M4A, FLAC) for different purposes and want to synchronize them across multiple drives. In addition, I’m interested in music processing workflows so I created this topic for that purpose. I was wondering what other Roon enthusiasts are using to keep their files in sync. And, since it works with ROCK’s internal or external storage, I’d like to share it with you.
I have a program I’ve been using for years to keep my external drives’ files synchronized.
