Personally, I feel that if you're going to be doing that much ripping, 
you're probably better off doing it on your desktop with a program 
better-suited to handling it (I use gRip).  The mythmusic ripper was 
never really intended for high-volume use, and I'd argue that that is 
the correct position to take.  A lot of media appliances (like the MVP) 
take this approach; they provide you with desktop PC software to manage 
your media, and let the appliance focus on its intended use: playback & 
navigation.  In this case, Myth is the appliance software, and since it 
uses open standards, you can use whatever you want to manage your 
collection.
