No time to rip all your CD's?

  • Article

LoadPod will do it for you!  (Assuming you have an iPod and at least 50 CDs and are willing to pay $1.50 a CD and live in an area they service - which now includes Seattle).

I can certainly see the appeal, ripping a lot of CDs takes a long time.  I've probably only got about half of my CD collection on my iPod because I don't have the patience to sit and feed by PC CDs every couple of minutes.  When I get a new CD I feed it to my Media Center PC and let it rip it into WMA9 VBR for when I want to listen to it at home and then let iTunes rip it into AAC and upload it to the iPod.  At the same time I'll grab a handful of unripped CDs and let iTunes do it's thing with those as well - everything is already in WMA9 and although I could transcode them into AAC, I'd rather go direct from the CD.  Eventually I'll get everything on there, but I'm in no hurry, the good stuff is already on there.

    When you rip with the MCE PC, why not rip to WMA Lossless instead of VBR? Transcoding to other formats wouldn't be of issue then, and you wouldn't need to re-rip from the CD.

    Of course, there is the issue of using more harddrive space when ripping to lossless, but it may be a good tradeoff in the long run.

    Yes, I rip everything twice. Once I've got a server set up and a lot more disk space I'll be looking at ripping into lossless WMA9 and then transcoding from there.
