First comment: I doubt that 2000 CDs are going to fit into 500GB in FLAC format. My FLAC library is about 1150 CDs and occupies around 335GB.
You only want to do this once, and get it right. As others have noted, make sure you use a trustworthy ripper so you can be sure of good rips. EAC is the obvious generic choice, but if you've got a Plextor drive then Plextools is a better ripper. It is faster than EAC in secure mode, and if you have any discs with uncorrectable errors it can switch on the drive's excellent error concealment mechanism - I've never found a way to switch it on from EAC. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38688 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
