Slllooowwww...
I picked up a 250G drive from Tiger Direct and have started re-ripping my CD collection into FLAC. The "re-rip to end all re-rips," as they say.
I'm sorta disappointed that I'm only getting 6x real time extraction/compression rates - it seems I/O bound to the ROM drive, as the CPU is mostly idle, as is the destination drive. It seems silly that I can burn a CD faster than I can read one.
So far, with 20 albums ripped, the average on-disk size is 337M, so I might be able to fit my entire collection on this disk, but it'll be close.
