I didn't say that, but it's not a bad idea.

It will slow down ripping.

Personally I would rip everything without it.

Then use the converter to scan your whole library into a bitbucket with hdcd on. Then look at log to find which ones are hdcd and convert just those. This will save time at the computer.

Not all hdcd's are labeled as such.
