Ripping a CD to FLAC with perfect metadata and cover art is so easy that there really is no reason to bother with direct CD playback.
I'll leave it up to user to do this.
Hi Tim,
moOde as an audiophile solution ? (Offering a tablet controlled CD player and file based music).
If moOde had this functionality, it would be the only one out there.
You could call it "audiophile-moOde". And if it were reasonably priced, i'd gladly pay for it. There might be some appeal to be had with some of the "old school" audiophiles out there too.
If the drive shows up under Browse - USB and the drive speed can be dropped, it will be a massive plus for my HiFi.

I didn't know this until a few months ago. Look at the man page (or consult your favorite search engine) for the command-line command eject and how to use it. It has many options. Here are just two
Code:-x <speed>
With this option the drive is given a CD-ROM select speed com‐
mand. The speed argument is a number indicating the desired
speed (e.g. 8 for 8X speed), or 0 for maximum data rate. Not all
devices support this command and you can only specify speeds that
the drive is capable of. Every time the media is changed this
option is cleared. This option can be used alone, or with the -t
and -c options.
-X With this option the CD-ROM drive will be probed to detect the
available speeds. The output is a list of speeds which can be
used as an argument of the -x option. This only works with Linux
2.6.13 or higher, on previous versions solely the maximum speed
will be reported. Also note that some drive may not correctly
report the speed and therefore this option does not work with
them.

Thanks for heads up Kent!
I will give this a go as soon as i clear some work. Speaking of an 80s CD player, in testing foobar to stream my CD content, its got "01 CD Track 01" as you've mentioned.
Should this go well, i'll buy myself a slot loading CD rom for xmas and dig out my old CDs which only had 1 or 2 good tracks to them. The multiple micro SD cards (for testing) are good to go.

A MoOde attached CD player would be just dandy as hifix said...
Hi DRONE7, In my mind i have tried to avoid the talk of a "vinyl only" HiFi enthusiast that i know... but i think there is something to be said for handling / convenience of physical media when it comes to music.
