Sure,
Also, in Itunes 12.x, preference>advanced>itunes media folder, I want to move my itunes library to my d2 #1 and rip via xld directly to it. I don't have an option from the pulldown menu as my d2 #1 is not there (although it is on the desktop so it is mounted). I also don't know how to choose it to be the destination of the rips. Lastly, since CCC only let me choose a source and a destination, how does one rip to both external hdd's simultaneously?
Sorry to be ignorant.

Thanking you ahead of time for your assistance.
The only way I'm going to relax is:
1. several Pilsners in succession
2. 1/2 bottle of a decent Pinot Noir
3. heavy drugs
4. getting this electronic rubik's cube up and running
I'm aiming for #4. Let me know what forum you post on and I'll follow the trail. sb

Well, the first order of business is that you can relax. This isn't anywhere near as complex as you might think. In fact, it is, or at least can be, quite fun!
I will get you some screen shots and some settings from my system and post them up to you in the morning. Actually, I may have to post them on a web site or something, as I can't seem to upload any screen shots to this particular area.
Yours,
-Paul

THE WHOLE THING. I'm frozen with computer paralysis.
Yes, I'm planning on ripping 450-500 redbook cd's to my music library (d2 #1) & my backup (d2 #2). Using AIFF.
Plan to use itunes and probably A+, but will rip for now and manage playback when I get a USB-Spdif converter. So for now, I'll obsess over the set up.I have xld and CC loaded. Named my external HD's. Not sure how to put library on HD #1 and mirror it to HD#2.
Also, you had some specific ideas for a format to label the music with (that /%A......stuff).
I'm concerned re: having two or three copies of albums/cuts all over the place. Your thoughts on whether Itunes should organize the library, and if so, how. If not, how to organize (xld?).
Lots of things on xld I don't understand...C2?, correction offset?, burst vs. paranoia vs. secure, (no, wait, I understand paranoia!).
Screenshots, if you have them, would be great. As you can tell from my questions, my ducks are flying all over the place.

Well. for the life of me, I can't find it either. Perhaps the images have been flushed from the system.
I can resend them later this evening if you wish. Did you want the settings, or just the tutorial, or the whole shebang? Just a few rather dumb questions though - what is it you wish to do? RIP your CD collection?
It look like you want to mirror the two disks, and that is an excellent idea. With 2TB of drive space be enough for your entire collection? Also, are you wanting to use iTunes plus an Audiophile quality player like Audirvana+, or an just iTunes, or an all in one application like JRMC?
Best of all, though, relax. It's pretty easy once you get all your ducks lined up in a row. That part is, of course, the most difficult part.

Hi Paul,
1st post.
Just getting started with comp. audio. Hardware set up (2014 Mini, USB Pioneer optical drive, (2) Lacie d2 TB drives.
Now completely flumoxed by xld/Carbon Copy/ even itunes. Didn't you publish a tutorial on these forums on setups of the above, at one time? I can't find it. If it exists, (and is very basic), could you direct me to it? S Baker
