Ozz - my workflow for redbook is rather simpler... Insert CD, fire up EAC, let it rip, download cover from Amazon (every 10 disks or so...use MP3Tag to fix tags). Takes about 5-7 minutes to load a normal CD. DVD-A is a bit more complex! Having listened to 8 disks so far, I am really frustrated that these disks are so hard to find/expensive. The mastering quality so far is superb. I've just ordered a few DVD-A's from Amazon in the US (haven't had to do that for years). Oddly, some titles that are hard to get in the US are easy here in the UK! If anyone has a copy of Brothers In Arms on DVD-A, maybe we could talk... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
