Is it not soo that dBp can rip in more than one drive at the time :) Given multiple PC's you can do a bunch in parallel, but the bottleneck would still be tagging. I dont have much classical music, but every classical music buff on this forum is very thorough and methodical in their tagging and and almost always fine tune the tags to their liking with such tools as mp3tag . But if dBp can be setup to generate tag in a style to your liking , maybe it can be automated :) Finding cover art for obscure disc's can be a time waster to . When I did my collection I tried to use time eficiently, wake up put in a disc or two make coffee put in the next disc and maybe a couple while showering in the morning, 2-5 disc's ripped in parallel with my morning routines, I also read the news on my PC so I could rip then to. !! backup your work on an external drive !!
