It also has an autoeject-after-rip function that I like to use in addition to the beep. I have a laptop that I keep under an ottoman in my living room that I do multiple rips with. I watch TV or whatever and when it's done, it beeps at me and I swap CDs out. Unfortunately, none of my computers has a fast ripper or processor, so my CDs take about 30-40 minutes per. Plus, it's writing the data over 802.11b onto a Samba server. Slooow.
