If you are the type at an audio show that picks up an iPad to pick a song to demo and it feels like you just pulled into the local salvage yard to try and find something, then read on as the answer is more nuanced. If you are the type that just plays music and could care less about uniformity or consistency of your album metadata like genres, covers, and naming conventions, to name a few, then I can short circuit the article and say the Aurender system could absolutely replace a computer for ingesting your CDs in lossless audio. If you are coming across this article, you might ask yourself your expectations of metadata of your music library. The second is to pair the ACS100 with another Aurender, in this case a W20SE, as additional storage for that unit. The first is to perform all ripping strictly with the Aurender versus utilizing a computer for ripping. My goal was to study two aspects of the ACS10/ACS100 as part of Aurender ecosystem. The ACS100 is certainly capable of that and most would use it as a streamer/ripper/music player. This article does not cover playback of music with the ACS100. For this evaluation I chose the relatively inexpensive ACS100 to study the process. This would include as of date of this article three models - A30, ACS10, and ACS100.
