    Large Volumes

    I have some 1,7 TB of music in FLAC-format stored on Netgear NAS (24/196 files are enormous). For iPod use, primarily for car use, I have converted this to MP3 (128 kbps) and iTunes, stored on a separate NAS. This ended up as 300 something GB and took more than one week to run, running from backup USB disk. But all OK.

    Now I discover that 128 kbps is not good enough. So I am considering going for 256 or 320, or perhaps even AAC. Currently I thing 256 will be my choice and to perhaps run Lossless for new purchases and real favourites.

    Is there some feature or smart way to make a conversion faster or perhaps without occupying a PC for a week?

    If it requires 1 weeks of CPU encoding time, only by getting a faster cpu will it speed up

      Is the above utility codec relevant? I dont have any experience of it as all my stuff is stored locally anyway - but it's supposed to speed up encoding to Network shares.
