One thing that I love about modern computers
is the speed at which they can rip music CDs.
When I first ripped my CD collection (over 500 music CDs) it took maybe 20 minutes a disc or so. That was on a P3/750. Fortunately I was able to exploit the software: I had two CD drives (one was a burner) so I could put two music discs in, effectively queueing one. Come back a while later, reload trays, go away.
I'm currently running an Athlon 1.5something GHz, it rips a music CD in probably 5 minutes or less.
LOVE IT!
And sadly, I may have decided on Microsoft's Media Player as my ripping program of choice. It will put my music in the file name format that I want (Artist.AlbumName.TrackNum.SongTitle.MP3). I do have to copy them out of the weird subdirectory format that they like, but that's no biggie.
