Hi Clive,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations of your purchase of a C15.
As G997 says ripping a 1000 CDs on the C15 is no problem; however, it does pay to check each rip for accurate meta-data and note if there is an issue. I did this by added a tag e.g. �Album Track Issue� or �Album Art Issue� then you can search for the tags and correct them later.

The C15 and ControlPC/MAC uses the same core software to rip CDs, so if you wanted to speed thing up you could rip using the C15 and your laptop.

You can also use a 3rd party tool to rip to FLAC and then import in to the Sooloos, I would recommend dBpoweramp, which you reference. The key feature of these three methods is that they produce "bit perfect" rips by looking up data from the internet to confirm the rip is 100% accurate.

Most CD taken about 4-5 mins some a little longer; though I did have one that took 2.5 hours!

Regards,
Carl
