I have much the same workflow as you. The big boost in workflow performance for me was when I had a machine capable of ripping directly to FLAC without blocking the ripping process. By ripping directly to FLAC, I didn't have to convert from WAV to FLAC in a separate step and I didn't have to go back and tag the FLAC files. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch.
