iTunes multitasking-response to Kunga

[Henri]

Referring to iTunes 3 on a G3/500 PB:
I really like the ways you can do a few things at a time. It can be 
playing any tune-from library or from the CD, while it is ripping the 
CD. And while it is ripping I can add or correct info to each song at 
a time. I don't see a need to edit tags before or after importing, I 
do it during. I also check or uncheck cuts sometimes while it is 
ripping. And it doesn't seem to slow down the ripping process, I get 
a consistent 3.5 to 4.2 x play rate regardless of it being the only 
process going on or one of the three mentioned above. So I just click 
import to begin, let that process start (by querying the CDDB) and 
then do the editing while ripping proceeds. I am curious, how much 
faster ripping would be on a G4. This is the summer I upgrade-always 
a step behind the current technology and always quite a bit cheaper 
than being an early adopter.

BTW I read a reference to a shareware app that gives older iPods 
something like the new notes functionality but I haven't been able to 
find my way back to it...anyone know the name of the app?
