Sorry, I didn't mean to imply the encoder software itself was slow, only that the combined hardware/software platform was relatively slow compared to what I'm used to: two LAME encoders on a dual athlon 1900 system.

Obviously, the speed difference should be expected.

I went through the entire manual last night. But, point taken about posting before RTFM.

I initially made that assumption. But when I turned off multi-cd mode at one point, the cogs went away??? Turning the mode back on made them reappear. So, I began to doubt that they represented compression going on...hence checking the about screen for the "Audio Compression In Progress" line.
