I went from like 40MB of songs to 6GB today, I long my new 52x32x52x16cddrive, i had a crappy 52 before but for some reason it wouldn't rip CD's, so i had to use a 20x and that was hhella slow, and it was on the same IDE cable as my harddrive so that may have slowed it down some too.
I'm glad I have my sister around, she has thousand's of CD's for my to rip, even though I prabally bought her most of the one's I ripped haha, That's what i get her for holidats and irthday and everything, ebcause I dont know what else.
