Bring your music collection back to life.
Convert your CDs into a clean, organised digital music library, ready for Apple Music, Plex, Sonos, NAS systems and modern playback.
MP3, Apple Lossless ALAC, accurate metadata, album artwork and careful UK-based handling from DIGIRAW, trusted since 2012.
Your CDs still matter.
You bought the albums. You built the collection. The music is yours. But for many people, the discs are now sitting on shelves, in boxes or in storage, while the CD player has quietly disappeared from everyday life.
At DIGIRAW, we convert music CD collections into properly organised digital files, so your albums are easy to find, easy to play and ready to enjoy again across the systems you use today.
For serious music collectors, this is not about convenience alone. It is about preserving albums, editions, performances and recordings that may not be available on streaming services, or may disappear from them without warning.
For real collections
From a handful of favourite albums to a full wall of CDs, we create a structured library that feels properly managed, not thrown together.
For modern playback
Your music can be prepared for Apple Music, iTunes, Plex, Sonos, NAS-based libraries, mobile devices and media server systems.
For ownership
No subscription. No disappearing albums. No relying on streaming platforms to keep the version you love. Your collection remains yours.
Built for collectors, not casual playlists.
Music collections are personal. Some albums mark a time in your life. Some are rare. Some were expensive. Some are simply not available in the same form anywhere else.
Classical music is a perfect example. Recordings can vary by conductor, orchestra, soloist, label, mastering, edition and performance date. For serious listeners, those details are not trivia, they are the collection.
DIGIRAW helps preserve that collection as a carefully organised digital library, ready for the way you listen today.
MP3 or Apple Lossless ALAC?
We offer two reliable output formats, depending on how you want to use your music.
- MP3 at 320kbps, ideal for universal playback across phones, tablets, computers, cars, smart speakers and general devices.
- Apple Lossless ALAC, ideal if you want to preserve full CD quality for local playback, media servers and Apple-friendly music setups.
- Combo output, useful if you want both a convenient MP3 library and a lossless archive.
Not sure which format to choose?
If you simply want your music to play easily almost anywhere, MP3 is usually the practical choice.
If you care about preserving the best possible CD quality, ALAC is the stronger long-term archive format.
If in doubt, choose both. It costs more, but it gives you the most flexible music library.
Metadata and artwork make the difference.
A digital music library is only useful if it is properly organised. That means clean track names, correct albums, sensible folders and artwork that makes the library feel complete.
Every track is prepared with embedded metadata wherever available, including artist, album, track title, genre and album artwork.
- Artist and album information
- Track titles and track numbers
- Genre information where available
- Embedded album artwork where available
- Clean folder structure for easy importing
Especially important for classical, jazz and specialist collections.
Large music libraries can quickly become messy if filenames, album names and folder structures are inconsistent.
For classical collections, the challenge is even greater because composer, performer, conductor, orchestra and album edition can all matter.
Your digital library should feel like a collection.
We cannot promise every obscure disc will have perfect online metadata, but we treat organisation as part of the service, not an afterthought.
The goal is simple: a music library that feels properly prepared, not a folder full of mystery tracks.

CD ripping questions.
Can you convert my CDs for Apple Music or iTunes?
Yes. We can convert music CDs to MP3 or Apple Lossless ALAC files suitable for importing into Apple Music or iTunes-style local music libraries.
Can you prepare music for Plex, Sonos or a NAS?
Yes. We structure files logically so they can be used with media server systems such as Plex, Sonos and NAS-based music libraries.
Do you return the original CDs?
Yes. Your original discs are returned after conversion. DIGIRAW converts your own discs into digital files and does not keep the originals.
Will every album have artwork and metadata?
We include metadata and artwork where available. Most commercial CDs can be matched cleanly, but obscure, rare, private or unusual discs may have limited online metadata.
Can you handle classical music CDs?
Yes. Classical music often needs more care because the composer, conductor, orchestra, soloist and recording edition can all matter. We prepare files as cleanly as possible using available metadata and sensible organisation.
Why convert CDs when streaming exists?
Streaming is convenient, but not every album, artist, label, edition or recording is available. Music can also be removed, replaced or changed. Converting your CDs gives you a digital library you control.
Which format should I choose?
MP3 is the most compatible option for everyday playback. ALAC is the better choice if you want lossless CD-quality preservation. The combo option gives you both.
Do I pay before sending the discs?
No. No payment is taken at checkout. We invoice once your CDs arrive and your job is confirmed.
