Whatever works for you. I rip directly to an external 2.5" USB hard drive. The CD-ROM is connected to my laptop using Firewire.
EAC rips the audio as WAV to the drive then passes that file to the FLAC encoder, which then writes back to the drive. So there is three read/write operations going on. I don't think the USB is slowing down the ripping at all, it all depends on the drive doing the extraction, the setting in the ripping software and the quality/error count on the disk itself. Of course, 'copy protected' disks do tend to take a little longer. -- funkstar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35504 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
