I got to thinking about the order of how I've been ripping my CD collection (since it was completely unripped before buying the empeg), and I'm curious to know how you all ripped your collections.

I think more important than the order you rip them in is how you go about it.

The temptation is to sit down and do a marathon multi-gigabyte session, get it done and over with and loaded into the player so you can sit back and listen to it.

Don't do it that way.

Better is to do it just a few CDs at a time. I rarely did more than three or four in a night. Take your time, spend more time making sure all your tag info and filenames and directory setups etc. are exactly, perfectly right. Put as much information into the tag fields as you possibly can. So what if it takes you weeks to get all the music in your player? You will be listening to it for years afterwards.
