Sorry it's been a long time since I've ripped (I use Napster mostly now) but I don't remember it being excessive. In fact, having multiple CD drives in my PC I was able to have a few running simultaneously. Note that the free version of MM has a rip speed limit (2x IIRC) so I would suggest going gold if you want to speed things up.
Alternatively, use EAC or dbPowerAmp to do the ripping, then organise in MM. -- simbo *bedroom:* squeezebox boom; *study:* squeezebox 3; *lounge:* squeezeslave; *conservatory/garden:* squeezebox receiver; *anywhere:* squeezebox controller 'last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/buggle52) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78925 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
