I like having the ability to multitask with all systems go. I ripped my massive CD collection to FLAC using three computers, and three mice, keyboards, and monitors as well. I even had a scanner going for when I hit a title that no artwork, or it didn't show up in dBpoweramp, so I could drop that pic into the meta quickly on the fly. I got through a zillion CDs and CD-Rs like in months rather than years of work. Well it was a couple of years actually. And I still have the remaining bootlegs to do, and those are or at least were missing meta and pix when I attempted to do them 5 years ago. If no metadata showed up at all, I skipped that (bootleg concert) disc and moved into the next one, figuring that if I waited a year or two - someone would drop in the metadata for that title - thus saving me a lot of typing.
