Also learned by experience always rip lossles (otherwise you will do it
again later ) fix all tags and cover art while at it, don' t rip and
adjust weird tagging "later" you will make a mess.
My approach while ripping was : rip a bunch of CD's fix all taggs plunk
them into your "music" directory/
Hi Jim,
Would you share the idea about your approach?
It would be interesting for me (I am in some thoughts about the backup
concept)

While you are ripping your collection you can't backup often enough.
I'd find a way to make it fairly easy and run a backup every night or
two. Depends on how much work and time you're willing to lose in the

That's easy: whenever it takes less time to make a backup than it does
for you to reproduce the data that will be lost when something happens.

Hi aubuti,
You are completely right.
It is just a question of when to make a back up.
The process was just somewhere in the middle... and there were no
indication to have anything happening... never before... but you know.
It is unpredictable and lies in the area of probabilities of events

That's why everyone should have a backup copy of his/her li
As long as you really are using the same source for your tags, it sounds
to me like a configuration issue between the Linux and Windows PCs.
Go through the tagging settings and ensure you are using the same
tagging formats and settings. Also, ensure you are mapping the metadata
to the same field
I know this feeling.

And
EAC is also good but is not as plug and play as dBpower amp, but it is
free, you have to get the covers from other source possibly using mp3tag
finess the tags and add images .
EAC is highly flexible so you can probably make it tag the right way.
But it requires some fiddling.

Correct dbPoweramp has a batch ripper that will use multiple drives, I
don't know if there is a limit.
CDex is free and pretty good, EAC (Exact Audio Copy) is free and high
quality, but can be a pain to use and configure.
Flac can be used with any of them.

funkstar,
I know that I am not really digitalizing ;-)
you are right, ripping... would be a better word
Mnyb,
the idea about two drivers is an interesting one. I had two, but it was
some hassle on my old Pentium box and Ive removed one. It could be
potentially due to the difference: one drive
Is not dB power amp made so you can run multiple instances and use all
of the drives in the PC ? most people have two these days ? i may be
wrong but worth checking out.

CDs are already digital, you are just ripping them, not digitising them
(sorry, couldn't help myself).
If you are pulling data from OpenDB on both Windows and Linux, the data
will be the same. What are you using on Windows to rip with? is it using
a different DB.
As for naming convention, that i
Hi to everybody,
I am in the process of digitalization of my CD library.
My Linux box is working fast (if I can say so) with factor ~3-3,5
based on what I have seen in different posts it is a decent speed. And
all tries did not bring any further increase.
