Because it involves more "thumb twiddling" at the computer waiting for a blue line to get longer. With my slow old 'puter it takes about four times longer to rip a CD to FLAC and MP3 at the same time than ripping to FLAC alone.
If I have, say, three CDs to rip, it is a much more efficient workflow for me to rip them as quickly as possible, one after the other, and then to batch convert them all at once. That way I can trot off and do something else while the PC is busy on the conversion task rather than sitting at the PC while I wait to put the next CD in the tray. -- TheLastMan Matt http://www.last.fm/user/MJL-UK *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology DS107+ NAS (with firmware 2.3-1157) running Squeezebox Server 7.5.3 on Synology Package Manager *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheLastMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85730 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
