When ripping and encoding at the same time it seems to take forever. Would more ram increase the speed of this process? Also, does the rate at which you encode have something to do with this?

[KingSparta]

Possible for more than one reason

1. to keep Windows from using the swap file
2. depending on the encoder, the encoder may work better with more ram and read the whole media file into a buffer and not from the drive a bit at a time. and since maybe an average wave file is around 80megs or so for a song.

I would say yes

If you use 7.2,there is not "rip on the fly" like in many others jukebox.So it takes more time.Not sure but i think that there is "on the fly" on 8
You can give more ressources to the jukebox and get faster operation.Depending of your computer,cdroom  you may get pops and noises at the faster speed.You have to test it

listening to Joe South- Anthology

It is 7.2. As far as the computer... 128 ram,pII,cd-rw is 16-10-40,win98se. May have to upgrade the memory, for more reasons than this.
King-was reading test post last night.Interesting...you really have 80,000|PLS| mp3s.Averaging 4 minutes per song thats about 36 years of non stop music. Or did I miss calculate?

To put more ram  is always going to better concerning your computer.But speed has more to do
with your processor

[Darwyn]

80,000 songs is about 7 1/2 months from my calculation. Ahh, Thanksgiving Day to the 4th of July without a repeat.

I re-did and came up with what you had. Must have clicked the wrong button
Zevele1< Forgot to add 333mhz. May have to do more with my impatience/expectations of new toys. Like to add that Robin Trower-Daydream is playing right now.

>>you really have 80,000|PLS|
80,400 really

there are some dups, i am trying to collect around 130,000 so I can see if MJ springs a leak when going down the JRiver

So far MJ is still working eating\using about 106 megs of ram.

right. in winxp, with task manager running, I can watch resource intensive programs/activities such as encoding, and I've found that most often, the processor is maxed out but only a quarter of the memory at best is in play. P4 1.8 g, 512 mb ram. I think doubling your memory might help, but any more would be overkill--unless you have soume memory leaking program running, like Mcaffee background virus scan-- then you'd better increase your memory x10.

RamBooster. Works great. I have mine set to reclaim memory to 128M (half of total) at 64M.
