I run several drives doing multiple simultaneous rips by running CD Ripper multiple times together. It works quite nicely, all I have to do is point each copy to a different drive.

So here's my question:

I've noticed if I change settings on one running copy, the settings may or may not be saved. I've also noted that changing settings on one running copy doesn't change settings for the others currently running.

I haven't rigorously tested, but I speculate that maybe the last close wins. Or maybe the last launch. Or maybe the last change wins? Or maybe only the last close with changes wins, but a close with no changes doesn't erase changes?

How do we properly save changes when doing simultaneous rips?

This gets significant if I want to make temporary changes to how I rip on one CD only, say on one single track I'm fighting with. I don't want permanently change settings for all CDs, just that one. How best would one handle that?
