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.)

Assuming you mean the pre-2.0 Amarok, you might be interested in Strawberry: https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/

It's a a fork of a fork of the old Amarok, supporting more features and modern support while retaining the original UI.

Strawberrry (https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/) is the fork, but I don't think it will do everything you want as far as plugins go. I would also like something that is Clementine but not 7 years out of date.

That doesn't always work on a Mac, so you might want to grab it's forked project, Strawberry (this is what I use on my Mac) -> https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org

If you use Clementine, I highly recommend Strawberry, it's a fork of Clementine which is updated more often, has a lot of bugfixes and QoL that I enjoy.

Strawberry for listening to audio files.

Winamp! Yes, it's a stupid option that wastes battery life, but I'm quite happy running my trusty old Winamp through Parallels. Been using it forever, and see no reason to switch. I've tried a bunch of MacOS native apps, but have never really been happy with them in the past. Strawberry shows promise though. I've had my eye on that one. I might give it another try: https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/

I use navidrome[1], its a music streaming server you can selfhost and then use a player that supports the subsonic api for playback. I use the strawberry music player on my desktop and substreamer[2] on android. Navidrome can also scrobble your music to last.fm if you tell it to.
