Parallel ripping with dbpoweramp?

2008-03-02 18:06:23

Does dbpoweramp support parallel ripping from 3 drives at the same time? I have three Ultraplex TS-40 from my old DAE days lying around. I plan to resuscitate them by building a dedicated batch ripping box from other legacy parts.

While those drives are like 10 years old.. are they supposed to work fine with dbpoweramp? Their error recovery might not be cutting edge, but IIRC they can read into lead in/out, support HTOA and have reliable C2.

There is a special program for multiple CD drive ripping:

For that Plextor version you need R13 alpha of music converter and have to set the read mode to D8

Yes, using the batch ripper, which works with the dbpoweramp R13 alpha (beta now?) reference release.

Note that you will have to test whether the current read strategies support all the drive features on such old hardware.
