I agree with you ripping to APE and converting when away from the computer.It is how i do when wanting good convertion.Anyway i never use my computer when ripping or converting.
Because of it i am mad about the fact that we do not have a 'play a sound when ripping finish'
I found a program ripping to APE slower than MJ,but i use it,because with the sound ,i know when one cd finish.
With MJ ,i forget and remember about to rip yhe next cd after 30-40 minutes.
In fact i rip more cds in few hours with the slow program playing a sound.
When ripping for people who don't care,i use RealJuke box 'mp3 on the fly' it is fast and there is a sound played when cds finish.
I did many tests trying to find a way to encode 'on the fly' to mp3 with the same encoder than MJ and with the same settings in a faster way.If you find faster,it is so litlle faster than better to use MJ.
The concert yesterday was great.Salem just AMAZING.
They may turn in Europe.In this case as opening act.Let me tell you that the band after would have to be very good...
As you know ,i am not a metalhead,but yesterday was the best concert i saw this year
Listening now to AEBA.
A german band.They play here next month.
The first band from abroad to play here since more than 2 years.I got the tickets today and they last cd was at nice price,so i brought it.
I like it,but cannot tell you if it is black,death...I am not yet 'metal' enought to know all the genres.
Except industrial metal and doom metal,the 2 kind of metal i like the most
