For me, I never really stopped collecting physical media, particularly CDs. I've been pleasantly surprised to see it make a comeback. I've started collecting cassettes now, too, because I own a couple vehicles old enough that the stock radio has a cassette player.

Selfishly, I'm not thrilled to see used CDs regaining popularity. It's driving the prices up. But it's a good thing overall.

What is the preferred/best way to rip CDs from the Linux CLI? Is there a way to apply track info (is CDDB still around?) and edit that as well?

For command line you won't go wrong with abcde ("A Better CD Encoder") or cdparanoia if you don't need all the bells and whistles. For GUI take a look at asunder.

Not quite there myself, but I'm gearing up my homelab to host a media server with tailscale.

EDIT: I guess I could collect CDs again and rip them!
