Now that I have a CD drive capable of 40x DAE I'm looking for ripping software that can use it. The big problem is that all the rippers I've seen so far rip one track at a time, stopping between tracks. That doen't allow the drive to reach its full speed. Now if I can just find a ripper that will rip the entire CD at once, access CDDB, and create IDv3 tags. At this rate it looks like I might have to roll my own.

Well, the first step of my site update is complete. It's really just the move to XHTML and a new logo image. Next up deciding whether or not to make any more changes.

Once again I haven't posted anything in a while, not much to say. Let's see, I recently added a TDK 24x CDRW to my system. I've only tested the ripping so far in windows, nice and fast. I'm just now setting up linux to use it. Need to re-rip and encode some of my CDs. Just did a round of ximian updates. I've also been trying to help the balsa people create a new mailbox API. I'm now using it as an oportunity to learn docbook and xml using the java based merlot xml editor. So much to learn, so much to do.
