Hey Bruno - is this getting old yet?

I just wiped out my PC and reloaded back down to Win2K. I will eventually dual boot with XP, but for the time being I want performance ripping. After doing a bunch of things - installing ASPI, upgrading the firmware on the drive and the BIOS on the adapter, getting new drivers for the adapter and installing,and installing ASPI 4.6, I am now getting 24X regularly. I am pretty happy with that, but if you have any suggestions to get me to 40X I'd love to keep trying.

BTW - when you said you would rip without encoding, and then encode a batch of many discs, how did you do that? I have AG organizing everything into sub-folders by artist and album. From what I could tell, LAME won't let you drag a folder onto it, just files. What up?

Thanks again for all of your help. I can't believe how great the people are on this board.

PS - not to look/sound like a complete novice, but how do I email you from here?

Joe
