Probably nothing new for some of you but last night I went to re-install EAC to rip CDs and thought I'd try out the simpler (but with a cost) version of dbPowerAmp. So I downloaded the trial version for Windows 7.

After it ripped the first song, I noticed it used one CPU core to start encoding it to flac but it used the second CPU core to start ripping song number two at the same time.

I tried using it to convert the resulting flacs to MP3 instead of ripping them again and saw that it began working on translating song #1 with Core1 and Core2 was already working on song number 2.

A lot of software can utilize 2 or more cores nowadays but I didn't expect to see it work so well in just ripping software. Kinda cool. I might even break down and pay for it vs. the tricky setup to make EAC work for free. OK, well maybe anyways.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
