The second is likely to be a little slower. EAC queues compression tasks up, so the queue would just extend if you fed the draw more quickly than the PC could compress. (Beware that you don't kill EAC before the queue is empty or you'll end up with some files that didn't get compressed.)
Obviously, it depends on the speed of your processor and CD reader, but just ripping and converting to flac, I reckon you should estimate about 10 per hour. If you don't use the accurate mode it's quicker, but more risky. The problem is that it's difficult to just sit there and just watch, and when you start doing other things on the same PC it tends to slow down! -- Patrick Dixon _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
