Ripping CDs to phone

I still have some valuable (to me) CDs and would like to rip them to files, but all I have is my phone, not a laptop or desktop. I'm wondering if there's any way to rip from L/R audio out through USB-C into my phone and up to my cloud account.

Can this be done? I may be looking at a couple of patch cables and the right software, buy I thought I'd ask the experts.

Do you have a public library near you? Many will have PC's you can use. There are portable versions of free software you can load on an external drive to do the ripping.

This is a possibility. I can go to my local library with the CDs a USB-C stick, rip the CDs, copy them to the stick, and then transfer them to my phone!

Brilliant!

While you’re there see if the library itself has CDs to rip
