really weird problems with my computer...

Does it give you a 30 second countdown warning? If not..is it too hot?

[Tokki Wartooth]

No warning, just shuts off randomly. And I don't see why it would be too hot. I turn it off every night, and I don't do all that much with it when it is on, just MSN, IE, and Photoshop or Word Perfect every so often.

It only takes a couple hours to rip a whole mess of CDs. You stick one in, hit "rip", come back in 45 minutes, stick another one in, hit "rip", etc. http://www.cdex.n3.net/ is a good ripper, last I checked, which was admittedly a long time ago.

Are we assuming 1x speed ripping here? I'd expect much faster per CD myself

[Tokki Wartooth]

I think WMP only took about 5 minutes per CD. ;(

[Samuraid]

Yeah, it generally takes my computer about 5 mins per CD in WMP (encoding into WMA lossless)
