    Temp files

    While ripping (and converting to flac) my first cd with dBpoweramp I noticed that temporary files are placed on C drive ("C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\DSP826A.tmp" for example).

    I had planned to rip my rather large cd collection to NAS, but I had not planned to wear out my SSD C drive while doing that. There should be a way to direct all temporary files to a given location but can't find such setting anywhere.

    Is there a way to do that in some other way?

    Modern SSDs have wear leveling, you could rip CDs all day, every day for 25 years and it would not kill the SSD.

    Ripping 100 CDs = 1000 track writes, having a temp drive on a SSD you probably create 1000 temporary files per day just by using Windows.
