Hi all ! I consider to built a new desktop instead of my more then 5 years old Dell Dimension 410. One of the task I keep in mind is ripping my CD collection to Flac ( I have many CDs and only a small part is digitalised).
I want to reuse CD reader I have now ( I have Toshiba TS-H553A ) but moterboard / processor / hdd will be all new (I can get Intel Sandy Bridge and a good new gamiing mobo as well as SSD with discount. I consider to put 8G of memory I'll use dbPoweramp ripper. My qiestions are : what will be the performanace bottleneck when ripping CDs proper - the speed of CD reader, CPU, memory or harddrive ? Should I invest in SSD ? Whould it be much faster not to rip CDs to Flac directly, but to rip them first into Wave file on SSD to make it as fast as possible. and then run converter in a batch mode overnight by converting Wave to flac and putting them on harddrive on my NAS As I mentioned I am only concerned with the time of CD ripping since I need manually put Cds into reader and remove them, so I would like to minimize the time the single CD is ripped. Advice will be much appreciate it. Another way ( I don't know if this is possible is to rent on of these CD readers that you can put 50 or more CDs into a stack and it automatically process it. I have no idea how much it costs to rent/buy -- sl789 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sl789's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5667 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88402 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
