dBpoweramp will use up to 4 cores if it can by default under the reference version. This is a good thing; you'd get one core doing the rip, and one core apiece doing your lossless encode and your lossy encode (should you wish)
The important thing with dB is options. I've yet to find a niggle that I couldn't fix with its options. And Philip - if you're loading things into mp3tag after ripping to remove excess tags, is there a away you can block them at time of rip with EAC? e.g. dB has an tagging DSP that lets you add/remove/remap/alter tags on the fly as it rips. And you can turn major stuff on or off in options, ie discnumber tags. Ripping profiles are the No.1 attraction of Db for me though - I've got different profiles set for different rips eg compilation discs, comps with 2+ discs etc, single artist 1 CD rips and so on. Gives me complete control over what tags get used, where the files go, how they're named, how the folders are named, everything. Awe inspiring piece of software IMHO. If I was capable of writing ripping software (ha ha! clearly there's no chance!) I wouldn't bother as dB is exactly what I'd produce. -- moley6knipe WinXP Pro SP3 > dBpoweramp Reference 13.1 > SqueezeCenter 7.4 > Squeezebox 3 > ears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ moley6knipe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10014 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57787 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
