Give yourself lots of time. Many long-time users will cite the same mantra....do it once and get it right. In the end, you actually save time by taking more time up front to not just get a good, accurate rip....that's the fastest, easiest part....but to ensure your metadata is accurate and consistent. If you try to rush and rip a 1,000 CDs as fast as you can, I can virtually guarantee that your digital music library will be a frustrating mess that's hard to use and navigate. And that it'll take
a lot of time to go back to find & fix all the tagging errors....
Metadata. Metadata. Metadata. Do it once. Get it right.
