mgh: my experience of dbpoweramp is the same as yours. it can lock the machine to the extent you reach for the power socket. i see others on the web report the same thing. i have a golden rule using it - do absolutely nothing else while it runs and reboot after finishing your ripping session. its got other bugs as well where it sometimes can't read the last track which is a real pain.
nevertheless, despite all these problems i personally find it's speed advantage and album art advantage enough of a reason to stick with it. by the way - apple lossless is no good for your squeezebox. you should use flac and convert to apple lossless or aac 256kbps when you want to play stuff on your ipod. becuase squeezebox does not speak aac, wma or apple lossless, these formats have to be converted on your machine before transmission increasing cpu load. there is of course no difference between flac and other lossless formats - they all produce sound identical to the original. the compression ratio and cpu load do differ a bit but it's not that much of a bid deal. -- willyhoops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ willyhoops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34232 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
