I have been ripping my CD's over to MP3 with iTunes, and most songs are ripping over at 10-13x, which is plenty fast for me. I have noticed that processor utilization hangs at about 98% while it is ripping tracks. I know the CPU is doing all the compression, but wow, didn't think it would take 98% of a P4 2ghz. Just curious if ripping MP3s will pretty much eat up all the processor you have (for you guys with the hotrod systems)?
