Cool ... so my new 512Mb 1.2 Ghz Athalon that's sitting here with no real
purpose other than making me feel better about having a reasonably meaty
machine can now do something usefull.

(Actually, I did a bit of ripping with Audiocatalyst on Friday and got read
speeds from the CD of 15x or greater and compression times for a 5 minute
track of 12 seconds! Wicked...)

Cool ... what alternative settings are there? Don't suppose you could cut
me
a recording to CD?

That's what I wanted to hear!

Not too shabby ... HD's are cheap enough nowadays. Have you tried running
it
across a network?

Sounds cool...
