I listened.
Rather than sending my CDs off to be ripped, I’ve decided to rip my CDs myself.
I played around the last two days and finally got going in earnest tonight. Due to a little tweaking and unsing Musicmatch Jukebox Plus, I can rip most CDs at 30x speed. That means that most CDs are done in 2-3 minutes.
I’ve got two computers going and the CDs are going in and out about as fast as I can spin around in the chair. I can’t really do much else, even read since I’m getting interrupted every few minutes.
It’s suprising to me how fast it is going, several hundred CDs have been ripped already.

Are you automatically pulling from cddb and slamming into a database? I did that once and it worked out very nicely. I guess windows has some new capabilities of searching on song attribute if you set up your folders right – right?
No, ripping does not mean stealing. It’s perfectly legal to rip CDs that you own. It’s part of the Fair Use act that was signed back in the 70’s I believe.
Borrowing someone elses CD that you didn’t pay for and don’t own and ripping it is illegal.

Out of curiosity, did you consider using CDEx ( http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ )? I’m going to do some mass ripping myself and would be interested in reading one of your in depth tutorials on this subject.
