Have to rip ~300 CD's in 6 hours

[SLCentral]

I've got to rip 300 CD's of a client's collection by 6:00 (its 12:00 now). I hope I can do it 🙂.

I've got 3 drives luckily, and all three are ripping into 320Kbps MP3's at once using WMP11. Might not have the highest quality, compared to FLAC or OGG, but it's all what they need. Here's to hoping I can do it :beer:!

On that note, how the hell is the CDDB so big?

 

[mugs]

Sure.

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Err... contributions by tons of end-users over the years?

🙁. If it takes 8 minutes a CD, 300 CD's will take 13 hours :-\. Hopefully I'm a horrible estimater, and it's less then 300 🙂.

Well I haven't ripped a CD in a long time and I usually only did 192kbps, but I thought it only took me 3-4 minutes per CD 😉

192 probably would have been enough for your client. Keep chugging away, you might be able to do it 🙂

Does it take less time to do 192?

With one computer, no.

Probably not much. I'd be most of your time is ripping, not encoding, assuming a fast cpu

Yeah, I didn't think it would. I've got a Venice 3000+. One of the drives is a Lite-On DVD-RW drive, the other two are Asus 16x DVD-ROM drives. They're all ripping to the same drive, is that not a good idea?

Alright. Set at 192. Hopefully this'll be enough. The music will be used with a Sonos system and a Bose (yeah, I know, I didn't set it up) multi-room Lifystyle system.

I wish I had one 🙁. Then again, I almost never rip.

I didn't know WMP11 could rip at 320...at least mine can't (it only goes up to 192) 🙁

Why do you only have 6 hours?

The roomate had one. I think kenwood made it. It would rip a full CD in like <50 seconds. (i may be making that up, but it was fast)

I have one. The problem was a high rate of out of box failures that made them too expensive to mass produce. Mine still works great though 😀

Cause I want to set this up tonight so I can get paid. It's not CRITICAL, but preferred.

Yes 🙁. No way I'm gonna get done tonight. I've done 40 CD's in an hour and a half. Not a chance.
