Ripping cd's

[Will]

I had read thsi thread few times before doing RIPPING all over again as in the past i was not happy with my source.
Today, I recieved new External HP USB DVD/CD RW drive, few hours ago downloaded dBpoweramp. going through the RIPPING sessions
Doing Lossless Uncompressed FLAC.  Not doing anything on the DSP Settings.

its painful to go through whole set of CDs only fun is wine is giving me company along with "Ghost Protocol". there are about 200 CDs roughly  . 10 done until now (2 hours since i started). Will do few CDs each day. 

Thanks for this thread and good info shared here.

Took me about 6 months in total as I lost the discipline of doing a few discs per day. Well worth it in the end though, good luck.

  
Only 200!  I have been collecting CDs for since they first came out and it took me almost a year to rip my collection of 3,000 or so CDs.  As most of my CDs are classical music - I had to spend a lot of time modifying the metadata to ensure that my collection is indexed in a consistent way.  The results are well worth it - I am listening to a lot more music - including stuff I had forgotten about!
