Yep. It appears if I put it into "standby", intead of "on", it encodes relatively fast (down to 77% now). Otherwise, it seems to just not encode at all. Running 1.02.

Downloaded the 1.10 ISOs last night, wonder if the upgrade will make any differences in encoding while on area?

Notably: I had no crashes while ripping. Not sure if that's because it's not configured for the internet or not yet. Sounds like the posted crashes were around the time of cddb lookups. Anyhow, the 1.10 is supposed to take care of that! I suppose there aren't release notes for 1.10, it being a post-end-of-life release? Didn't see any on rioaudio.com/digitalnetworksna.com nor in the zip file.

More fun...
