[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 29154, member: 175235"] Also when you find an encoder check the bitrate it encodes at. For true ‘near CD’ quality you should really use 192kbits/sec (or higher). 128k is about ‘average’ quality, don’t go below that unless you absolutely have to. At 192k a 5 min track will be just under 7MB, how much hard drive space and how many CDs do you have? Also, I know it’s not free, but I use Easy CD-DA Extractor, once you get the hang of it it’s a very useful application. Also if you are resourceful the $30 registration isn’t an issue ;) [url]http://www.tucows.com/preview/218449.html[/url] As Rolf says you should look at getting some more RAM, the processor speed is also important in how fast it will convert.
