Since the beginning of 2022, I've made a big effort to digitize all my archive of...everything (and re-digitizing some of my older stuff).

I've been concentrating on optical media since I started, and after almost two years, I've hit my first milestone: all my audio CDs are re-encoded. I will likely have all my CD-ROMs also ripped shortly.

The Blu-Rays and DVDs not so much. Oh my goodness, the DVD stack is HUGE.

@dolari Ah yes, that brings back memories. I think i've done that 7-ish years ago or so.
Good luck, and don't get overwhelmed!

@theartlav - I've actually been forced to go about this slowly. I have three optical drives in the house, two DVD burners and one Blu-Ray.

I've been doing 1 Blu-Ray a day, and then however many DVDs, Audio CDs and CD-ROMS I can while that one Blu Ray gets ripped.

It's forced me to take a while to do all this, but at the same time, it's also forced me to take it slow, and really nail down the organization of everything so I'm not looking at thousands of files going "HOW DO I ALPHABETIZE JAPANESE CHARACTERS?!"
