someone offered me $300

[zendari]

If he just wants you to fill the drive, rip at max quality and fill it in like 20 cds.

 

[rezinn]

Do it. No big deal. Rip it at 128k and he won't know the difference and will be happy. That should fit just about everything probably.

170 cds.. how long does it take to rip a cd?

and move it to ipod?

I dont have an ipod so lets estimate this...

lets say it takes 20 min to rip a cd and put it into iPod.

20min x 170cd = 3400 mins / 60 min = 56 hrs 40 mins..

if we say $10 per hour.. that is already way over $300

so its upto you.

Ripping a CD in itunes takes 2 minutes... Where the hell did 20 come from?

that's how long it took for me to rip a cd and make into a 196kb mp3 files . 2 minutes?! wtf are u smoking?

it definitely takes less than 4-5 minutes to rip a cd in itunes straight to mp3. you are an idiot if you waste 20 minutes doing that.

i can tell you it definitly takes at least 10 min to rip with EAC and LAME set to extreme, and this is on a AMD 3500+ with a brand new dvd/cd drive

 

[shortspanishguy]

Ive ripped 1011 songs so far. I have 3 bags left.

 

[BillyBobJoel71]

take the offer.

 

[NiKeFiDO]

well, he's a client....so..

do it for free for more future business for t3h win! (in good profit-making forward-future-looking-insert-your-phraseofthemonthROFLCOPTERS-phrase-here fashion)

I just installed itune and am ripping a cd into 192kb mp3. from its speed it's going to take around good 10 minutes+. this on a P4 2.4ghz pc @ work. I guess either you dont know how to read time or you are converting it into lowest bitrate.

But it is definatly faster than what i used before. Will have to play around with it.

Hmmm...6gb @ 4 mb/song = 1500 songs / 170 albums = 9 songs/album?

Probably not

 

[jpeyton]

Does anybody have a real estimate of how much time this would take. I would think using EAC and LAME 320Kbps VBR, it would take about 10 minutes per CD with a fast machine, and add about 30 minutes for clicking buttons and swapping CDs, you're clocking in at 29 hours.

If you use EAC and LAME at 192Kbps CBR, I bet you would cut that time to about 13 hours.

If you had an Athlon X2 and two optical drives, you could run two copies of EAC at once (setting the affinity to each CPU), and cut your time down to 7 hours.

 

[chickadee]

You sit at your computer anyway.. Sit at your computer and let the music rip on to your computer while you do what you'd do anyway.

 

[Paulson]

If it's 20's music the cd's wont even be close to 40 minutes per cd... most of the older music wasn't anywhere near as long as some of the songs on the radio today.

You wont fit all of the cd's on there but you'll get a substantial amount on there...

 

[shortspanishguy]

I just hit song 1600

 

[Shawn]

i'll do it. send the guy to me.

 

[shortspanishguy]

why do people keep saying that they will do it after I post my progress? You guys sure are silly.
