johnoExcept for some missing strays, this past weekend I finished ripping our entire CD collection to MP3.
I lost track of the number of actual CDs, however...
Music Match says we have:
8406 items with a total playing time of 601 hours ( 25 days) taking up 38.67 GB of space.
iTunes says we have:
8558 items with a total playing time of 33.1 days (794 hours) taking up 41.1 GB of space.
Difference is a few AAC files I've aquired over time and lots of Audible* content.
***Edit: Add link to Audible.
I've had a Susie Bright Audible show subscription for over 2 years and have downloaded 30+ books. Many have been converted to MP3, so there is duplication in time and item count.

Re: Welcome
Date: 2005-03-03 06:26 am (UTC)2 months of 10-15 CDs a day at work, for 2 months to finish.
Ripping speed ranged from 4x to 12x using Music Match, with error correction enabled.
Interesting that almost all the albums are in some DB somewhere. MM was about 90%, then Media Player got another 9% and finally iTunes. I only had to enter around 15 commercial CDs by hand.
Why that order of programs...
MM is configurable enough that file names and tags are exactly what I want.
Media Player came close on file names, but had minimal tag info.
iTunes does file names only ITS way and creates corrupted tags.
