as you all know or may of seen I am thinking of going down the Mac route and am wondering is itune faster on it than a PC like importing music of a cd to itune and transferring to Ipod Or is it all down to specs of the machine

Agreed. It's generally more snappy on OSX - things like the album view work nicely on any Intel mac, where it stuttered on my PD-940/2Gb/GeForce desktop PC.

CD ripping is much faster on my MBP using an external firewire drive.

Hmm so the HD inside the Macbook is not very fast then? I dont want to go down the Macbook Pro as cant really afford it and i prefer the size of the Macbook as I want it neat and small. So what External HD your using is it a apple one?
 
Are you guys using Itune to import the cds? How do I see how fast it ripping them? It make sense thou if the cd rom is slow it rip slow if it fast then it rip fast and it move faster to read faster so really makes sense
 
Just ripping a cd now and it doing it 4.2x on a 1.73ghz centrino, 512mb memory 24x cd rom. Would i see much improvment jumping onto the macbook route or should i just save my money and stick with wha ti got


Edit: hmmm speed now getting around 6.8 to 7.2
