The AudioCD browser *is* a ripping and encoding application (what else would
you call software that rips and encodes?) among other things, and I have
never noticed it to be any slower than any other application doing the same
thing. In fact, I suspect that it uses the same back-end tools as any other
GUI ripping/encoding application.

I tend to keep my music on a central server for my LAN, and with a single
drag-and-drop to an FTP directory I can rip, encode, and upload the music
to the remote server. This is a very fast process, actually, since the MP3
never gets written to the local hard disk in the interim.
