Hi all I've been rippping CDs since thursday and all is going well it takes approx 10 mins per CD , the unit works very well and I am very impressed with the sound quality I have not had chance to have a long listening session but I like what I hear, there is a remote app for your tablet or smart phone I have managed to find the android app but not the apple one so not sure if there is a problem with the apple app, the remote that comes with the unit is good giving full control over the unit its a nice size and shape but the tablet / smart phone give all the track listing album artwork etc which is handy if your eyes are not what they used to be or your sitting a bit to far away , I will add to this soon
