If I connect my portable CD/DVD Disc drive to the USB port and insert a CD, as I would to a laptop, the Powernode doesn't see it.

  Thanks for the reply. I assume it's not on the roadmap of future improvements.

  Actually just looking for a cheap way to listen to my CDs. Don't really want to buy a CD player.
  Anyway, thanks for your reply.

  I did rip some of my CDs, I even have a Synology NAS on which to store my music, and it's effortless with the Powernode. But:

  1. I have too many CDs
  2. Some are really difficult to rip, for example classical music, especially opera (who's the author: Puccini, Pavarotti, or Bernstein?). Even easy albums like the Beatles' get the artwork wrong. Too much manual work!

  But if you know of a software that gets all the meta data right, great, please let me know.

  Thanks!

  Thanks for the tip on bliss, it helped me fix some stuff. But it seems the Powernode completely ignores the artwork from bliss. I think it uses its own sources Which would be fine if it let me override with my art. But, alas, it doesn't.

  Another alternative might be to use a Teac PD-301-x. this is a simple yet functional and beautiful CD player that is exactly the same width as the powernode, you can stack them if you want and it looks pretty cool in my opinion. (I have not organized cables yest. Sorry for that).Hope i thelps
