Multi-drive Ripping / Burning Support?

Posted by pudge on from the ripping-for-dummies dept.

jasonisnuts writes "I currently have a DVD-ROM (internal), a CD-RW (FW), and a DVD-RW (FW), and I also have a massive assortment of music CDs that I want to rip and catalog. Are there any free, shareware, or commercial utilities for Mac OS X that support ripping CDs from multiple devices at the same time and offer full CDDB/GraceNote support? And does this same utility or another offer burning to multiple sources in multiple formats? This will all be done on a Sawtooth 500MHz (upgrading soon)."

    Nope.

    Huh? SIMD is nifty, but it's not magic. The 1GHz G4 that encodes my stuff using iTunes takes real live time to do it encoding, more than enough for the Superdrive to go idle and spin down between songs. If the encoding was even close to keeping up with the drive, that wouldn't have a chance to happen.
