Re: Audio ripping / conversion question
Thanks @Tushon dbpoweramp was exactly what I was looking for. It's funny, I tried to Google it but I don't think I ever phrased the question in a way that got me a good result. Thank you, that is exactly what I need.
I got some new headphones and a high res FIIO X1 player and decided to undertake the whole project at once. I was ripping just using media player in 10 (FLAC ripping is native now)... But EAC looks like a winner delivering the accuracy report at the end, I'll check that out too.
Slightly off topic but if someone is looking for a huge set of open cans that don't break the bank, OMG!!! Literally, my review is OMG!!!
Re: Rocket League
Okay, I have seen countless "Highlight Reels" from Kotaku with Rocket League featured and have never thought of it as a game I would enjoy. Too much like a sports game and not enough shooting or story. So I bought it and played with @BobbyDigi, @TiberiusLazarus and @RyanFodder. It's fantastic fun. The learning curve is a little steep and you may want a controller, but it's a very good game. Highly recommend it as something different and a change of pace.

Re: Returning to Folding@Home in 2016
Everyone should remember that we have a local PPD thread here. Instructions are simple use the v7 client, as everyone should be on it, and post your stable ppd for each slot. Make sure to provide CPU clock speed or GPU core/memory/shadder.

Re: Audio ripping / conversion question
I had a really good experience ripping multiple CDs using EAC for the safe/confirmed ripping from CD and then you can use a variety of tools to process the FLAC > MP3 v0 (or your preference) version. I think the "gold" standards for ease of use while retaining features were foobar2000's converter and dbpoweramp. There are ways you could go to command line for conversions, but it is isn't worth the time IMO. I would rip everything, then mass convert if you want the least "involved" process. If you want to manage it more while it is going, you could rip, start conversion and next rip, repeat. You'll probably (almost certainly) beat the rips with conversion.

What day would you be doing said draft?Whatever day at least 3 other people wanna do it.
Turned in my 2 weeks notice yesterday. Last day of work is the 16th. Fuck it, I'm in for the draft (if it happens). I'll literally be driving out for a few hours for the draft and maybe some food and nothing else.
