Rip my entire CD collection

Been having some computer issues lately, attempted to reinstall Windows quite a few times in the last week, one thing or the other was borked. Going to get back to my CD ripping, when I posted on 43Folders that I would rip all of them I intended to, and I still most definitely do, but a lot of things have gotten in the way in the last 2 years. Such is life.

I guess I forgot about this goal on 43Things from ages ago. I’m working on it again, ripping at a higher quality than before, still with DBPowerAmp on a newer dual core computer. I am also making an effort to get rid of the CDs I won’t listen to anymore and putting them into storage boxes. I am back on this goal, going to assess the others as well.

I have a ways to go, I’m certainly going to rip most of them, the ones I like best first then so on, maybe get rid of some along the way. I have my computer and iPod to listen so I don’t have to keep hunting and pulling the CDs out. I’ve got way too many now. Today I’ll be removing my DVD Burner and installing a new one along with a plain DVD-Rom, this will allow me to rip two at once.

I use DBPowerAmp Music Converter to rip as it is quite fast. I have PowerMenu installed which makes it easy to click on the taskbar and change the priority. I use MusicBrainz Picard Tagger and The GodFather for tagging renaming and moving.
