Last night I converted a box set of 18 discs in 22 minutes, which is 1.2 minutes per disc.
My configuration was converting over a wired network using my laptop (Dell Studio 15) which is only a couple of months old running Windows 7 64 bit edition on a i5 dualcore processor with hyperthreading. The files source FLACs are on a Linux system made visable to my laptop via a SAMBA share. The generated mp3 files were written back to the same server via a SAMBA share. Even though my setup doesn't match what you are doing precisely, it still gives you an idea of what a current processor will do for you. I was really pleased with transcoding performance when I bought this laptop. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch.
