" I'd like to be able to click on a tablet, see the CDs I have, and then select play to listen to what I want to hear as simply and easily as I possibly can."
A type of simple solution is linked for your interest. This is only an example and it may or may not exactly suit your needs and budget (this one is fairly expensive). I just selected it as I know from personal experience how excellent the Melco streamers/servers are and the publicity flyer linked does show how straightforward it can be. Of course there are numerous alternatives at various price points.
As you want to access your own CDs then you will need to rip them to its (or an alternative's) storage. All you need is a piece of software such as dbpoweramp downloaded to your PC. You will need an optical drive, I use a cheap external USB one from LG. Just insert the CD and the software will automatically find all of the metadata and artwork. You check it (edit f required)then press "Rip". This process does not happen in real time so a few minutes later all will be done.
You will need a USB DAC but this requirement is going to be a common factor for virtually any route that you choose.Loads of alternatives again at various price and quality points.
I note that you have referred to the subject of backups elsewhere. Essential of course and a copy held offsite is needed in the case of burglary or fire or flood.I used to lodge one with a friend but I found that my additions to the dtatabase occured nore frequently than how often I saw him. So I now use cloud storage for the offsite backup.
I hope that is of some help.
