I have a beefy PC with multiple SATA optical drives and SSD array, which is perfectly able to handle the task of reading / encoding / storing multiple CDs at once. Currently, when I insert the discs, I am prompted for the action and the name of the title for each disc. However, after that, only the first disc starts ripping.
When that disc is done ripping, the second disc doesn't start ripping. I am prompted to "Insert another CD or click close". I find that disingenuous since I did insert another CD - in another drive. Even when I press close, the disc in the other drive doesn't start ripping, even though I had chosen the "Rip" action upon insertion along with title selection.

There are multiple changes I would like to see :
1) ideally, the rip of a disc in the second/third/nth drive should start immediately after title selection, even if another rip on another disc/drive is already ongoing
2) short of 1) the rip should at least work sequentially without requiring another human intervention, ie. pressing close or pressing "rip" again

Here is a log of the rip after I inserted 3 discs in 3 separate drives. I had selected "Rip" as as the automatic option upon insertion.

I selected the disc name for all 3 discs in all 3 drives. Only one disc ripped. Afterwards, the other 2 rips were aborted, and had to manually restarted.

Essentially, with the current behavior, there seems to be no way to parallelize anything. Even sequential ripping isn't working. Are there that can be changed to fix this ? Or does this need a code change ?

Try dBpoweramp. I use this with multiple drives (4) in a PC and it rips in parallel no problem. Writing to SSD (as you do) really helps performance. It's not free, but it's not expensive. It's multi-threaded, supports many many formants,  and has neat tagging and filename format options. (Not sure how good the Classical tagging is though, but that seems to be a universal problem).
