Back Up All of Your CDs with Ripserver

Ripfactory's Ripserver could be the perfect first step in cutting down on CD clutter. Available in 500 gigabyte and 1 terrabyte (1000 gigabytes) configurations, the Ripserver automatically rips and converts CDs to either MP3 or FLAC. The RAID storage option means there are two identical hard drives built into the Ripserver for backup purposes, and extra USB connections allow you to add additional external drives to increase your storage space.

The Ripserver runs a version of Linux and can run stand-alone or interface with many popular systems: XBox 360, PS3, Mac OS X, Windows, and more. As long as you have the Ripserver connected to your home network, you'll be able to access your music from everything from iTunes to your home stereo.

We're disappointed by the pricey £599 starting price and lack of video support, but we like the Ripserver's sleek design, expandability and ability to connect with many of our other home devices.
