CD Ripping suddenly very slow
I'm perfectly willing to accept that my CD drive is on its last legs and needs replacing, but just in case - are there any options I may have selected somewhere that could potentially cause the CD ripping process to become incredibly slow? We are talking about 2 minutes per track at the moment, when in the past I was getting a whole CD done in 5 minutes.

MM by default is somewhat slower than other applications. MM has choosen for quality over speed. Some settings can improve the speed of ripping, but will potentially reduce the quality of ripping.

I have an older (8x) version of this NEC.mahoobley wrote:Well I've discovered its definitely my CD drive - it refuses to burn CDs now also.
Anyone like to recommend a DVD writer?
It works quite well and it's cheap. Reviews for my model, the 2500A, where generally very good. I'm assuming the 3520A is made to a similar standard, but I can't guarantee that.
Personally, I like the 12x Lite-On DVD-RW, dual layer. It can burn up to 8.5 GB per disk (one-sided). Of course, if you use the dual layer option, you can only read the disk in that or other d/l drives. I've had it for awhile now, and I like it.
It is not expensive, but it is almost always only found online.
