[aclug-L] Re: My Boewulf... sorta

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had problems with cdparanoia on my old 32x IDE CD-ROM drive... When I came
across dirty/scratched CDs, cdparanoia would just get stuck.

I had to use cdda2wav in those instances.

However, on my SCSI CD-ROM drives, I have no problems at all with
cdparanoia.  And now that I've determined how to rip from both of my SCSI CD
drives at once, I'm REALLY happy!

And now that I've found gogo (which is, BTW, a highly x86-optimized version
of LAME), I'm able to encode MP3s just as fast as I can rip them from two
simultaneous CD-ROM drives.  Woohoo!

P.S. Thanks for stopping by for your monthly e-mail visit, John.  See ya
again next month, same time, same place?  :-)
