Re: [TriLUG] Linux audio CD Copy [need for soundcard when ripping?]

[Brian Henning]

Unless you have some sort of sound hardware with hardware-based MP3 
[en|de]coding (does that even exist?  seems pointless with today's 
advances in CPU power), having a sound card in the machine would be 
frivolous unless you could really think of a need to output the sound at 
the server rather than from a remote workstation.  (Ignoring any other 
desires for sound output, like system sounds or Festival or other fun 
stuff).

Cheers,

On a similar note, Is their any benefit in having a soundcard in the box 
when ripping cds to mp3?   I just got a new Dell SC420 server that will be 
my new music/web/ripping server at home and am debatting putting anything 
other than harddrives in it.  Should I add a soundcard too?
