rust-os-comparison VS whipper

You absolutely can do "pure Rust" systems level programming; see for example the list at https://github.com/flosse/rust-os-comparison. But lets be real most people - even if we restrict ourselves to system programming - don't deal with code from that domain anyway. People don't learn to program by writing their own OSs, drivers or whatever.

It's an interesting question, but I suspect that the technical attributes of Rust as it exists today play a much larger part in Torvalds's choices than does its origin many years ago.

In particular, Rust is less error-prone than C, rather than more so (as is arguably the case for C++), and it does not require the importation of a large runtime into the kernel. And, unlike for example Lua or Scheme, a number of kernels have already been written in Rust, some of which are already fairly full-featured: https://github.com/flosse/rust-os-comparison

Finding a good CD drive to rip them is the first step.

IME Discogs had the track data most often.

And obviously rip to flac

I have a music library on my home server that I use mopidy to play via the iris plugin integrated into my home assistant UI. It plays over Snapcast which streams over the network to multiple devices in the home with independent volume control. I can fire up the Snapcast client in my phone to get it going there as well, which does work over vpn if I'm away, though I generally just fire up the files from my phones SD card for out-of-home listening. I recently started using whipper on Linux to extract audio from craigslist cds.

It's a Linux app that does CD Ripping. It runs in command line and can basically be semi automatic. https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper

A drive to read CDs and Whipper (automatic bit-perfect checks, conversion to FLAC, and playlist file creation)

(eg. It's the first listed option for Whipper, which is the closest open-source alternative to Exact Audio Copy and a Python project with a ton of C dependencies... and I say this as someone who dislikes Docker enough that I still went through the hassle of the "Building" section.)
