Our CD library has been ripped to MP3s.
The process took about 4 days. I ripped on two computers at night and Michele helped out during the day ripping a stack of CDs, even though she thinks I’m a data hog.
The end result:
Over 5000 songs taking up just over 30 gigs of space. Not bad for a library.
Here are the bags of ripped CDs before I put them away. Out of the almost 400 we ripped, only 5 had problems that wouldn’t let the CD-ROM read them. I’ll probably pick up a CD polisher and see if I can fix them. The girls’ game CDs could use a little polishing.
In other news, Zoe entered her first Science Fair.
She won the ‘Most Fun’ award for her investigation. I’m so proud.
i seent him in action. truly amazing.
in a very freaky, obsessed kind of way.
vision quest as he called it.
ps- texas says hello
Zoe! Great job! We are so proud.
Most fun?! Science isn’t supposed to be fun! It’s supposed to be dry and boring and something that only the biggest losers in school are good at. Science is all we geeks have; if science suddenly becomes mainstream, we’ll have nothing left.
Mister P.
(p.s. Way to go Zoe!)
1. Yeah Zoe! Science is fun!
2. Mike called last night to explain to me that “Ripping” isn’t stealing.
I’m so relieved!
Well, that didn’t take too long, eh? 🙂
Damn!! 5000 songs… How many CDs is that? Let’s see, the average CD has 12 songs on it, so that breaks down to 418 CDs. Am I close?
That is, easily, the coolest idea for a science-fair project EVER!!
Will you be publishing a report on her findings?
Congrats on ripping your entire collection. 🙂
Now get thee to the Apple store for that iPod purchase.
hey, if you go the CD polisher route please let us know how it goes. I’ve often been tempted to get one (Disk Dr.?) but nobody I know has actually used one and will vouch for it.
Whoa, what’s in your library?
