"Ron owns an iPod, has a couple of laptops, is a big iTunes and Rhapsody fan. He's a digital media fan. That said, in two years, he'd ripped a grand total of 20 CDs. Ron says his biggest deterrents to ripping his own CDs are that it takes a long time and maintenance, especially including the problem that he typically has to fix up the metadata (artist name, album title, etc) after he's done. In fact, when asked how long he thinks it would take him to rip his favorite 200 CDs of his collection, Ron said, "At present rates, I'm ripping about 10 CDs a year. If you calculate that out, my 200 CDs would take 20 years!" So we called in dmp3 to help out."This isn't a service I'd use myself, but I have to admit that after reading the article and seeing the detail the dmp3 puts into the process, I'm quite impressed. :way to go:
