Hi knowledgeable folk,
This may be a dumb question, but I'm struggling to find anything useful that answers the question in the thread title, as everything talks about how to plug a PC CD ROM drive into a computer.
What I would like to do is back up my CD collection to a lossless format to a harddrive: is there a way of taking a digital optical or coaxial out from the back of my CD player and plugging it into a PC or Mac (using a a suitable adaptor, as most computers don't have an optical/coaxial input) and using suitable software to rip stuff?
Or do I have to purchase a dedicated CD ripper, like the Astell&Kern one?
