[paranoia] Ripping With Multiple Drives

[Nathan Heagy]

I am trying to setup a dedicated cd ripping machine that will have 3-7
SCSI CD drives. The computer will be a pentium 2 233 that will do nothing
but rip the tracks, and the files will be picked up by other networked
computers for some sort of distributed encoding (this is to be worked out
later). 

I read on the paranoia web site that there are some possible problems
running more that one instance of cd paranoia at a time. What do I need to
know? I have not purchased the CD drives yet, so if this is a concern
please let me know. Also, to make things more compliacted, I will only be
ripping 20-30 seconds of each track on every CD. As it seems this cannot
be done by paranoia in one single command line, I will be writing a very
simple perl script that launches a seperate instance of cd paranoia for
each track. I will try to have this queued by perl itself (any suggestions
on how to know when the ripping on one drive is done?).

Thanks for any help,
