I love this progress dialog:
It is from one of the excellent dBpoweramp music utilities by Illustrate.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I use CD-DA a lot (http://www.poikosoft.com/) but this looks a lot better, and it costs about as much.
Um…it isn’t concurrent programming, as it happens. Fire up Task Manager and see how many instances of CoreConverter.exe you have running. Unless I’m missing something here and the same process appears once for every CPU, it looks to be running multiple copies of the same program, all virtualized.
@Clyde,
Well, it is definitely concurrency 🙂

Anyhow, it works well, whatever definition of concurrency you use 😀
I wrote a concurrent WAV-to-MP3 converting system like this once…. With batch files, lame, and START.EXE!
Quite efficient – It spawned 5 threads/CPU core, and made record time.
Chunk-processing like audio conversion makes concurrency easy.
Hey,
Nice prog. Whatever it does under-the-hood, I don’t feel like it’s pulling down my system and it cranks nice and fast!
