1 Gb RAM enough with Mac Mini?

1Gb is fine. Don't run anything else when ripping!

Paulfolbrecht: 03-13-08: /snip/...I get an average of one dropout every 2-3 tracks if the machine is running ANYTHING else at the time! What a PITA.

Paul
you get a dropout of WHAT?
...un-ripped songs from ripping session?
...songs during playback when hardwired to output?
...songs during playback when using wireless?

All would be a PITA to me.

(I've used a PPC PowerBook Titanium and (now) an Intel MacBookPro and never had erroneous rips from CD only dropouts during APExpress playback)

ram is cheap...I put 2 gb in mine..runs much faster...

I get dropouts on (wired) playback, which is due to ripping errors, because they occur in the exact same spots every time.

$100 for another Gig is really a no-brainer. I'll get it with 2 Gb if I order another one, which I may well do. Having the computer useless while ripping is too much of a PITA.

Mac's seem to do better with 2 Gb, and all the magazines tests confirm this, so buy the extra RAM. As for the dropouts, DAMN that sucks!

Do you have the error correction in the preferences panel set to on???

I just ripped a few hundred more discs and have yet to find an error in mine with this one...

Oh, BTW I hope you are ripping to a lossless format as if you aren't, you'll just end up doing it all over again some day..... Trust me from someone who's done his entire music collection twice, it aint fun!
