Preparations are under way for an eventual music server. I've begun ripping my CD collection using EAC, FLAC codec, and AccurateRip. It's all pretty straightforward, except I have a sort of lame question:Do you do other work on your PC while ripping your CDs? I'm hesitant to do much else on the PC while ripping - especially work that requires lots of disk reads/writes. Is that paranoia or is there a case to be made for limiting the amount of work you do while ripping?

Follow Ups:
Yes, I am always slaving the machine. The EAC program likes to pop up in front of me while I'm working sometimes, but the CPU doesn't get overloaded. No problems so far...
Yes, I do other things. I can't see why you need to worry about hard disk access. There's plenty of bandwidth there. Even if there weren't, it gets queued by the operating system so you can't lose anything.With my previous system, a P4 with 1GB RAM, things were sometimes pretty sluggish doing other things. With my current PC, an AMD dual core with 2GB of RAM, I never notice that EAC & Flac are running. The second CPU core is ideal for this scenario.
nothing to be gained here
