Long Pause (Not Responding) when inserting CD before tracks are recognized

[dfollis]

I just upgraded to DBPA 14, glad I'm within the v15 window. I used previous versions to rip ~1000CDs that I had accumulated over the years. Great software. But now I'm experiencing an issue. Since the v14 upgrade, when I insert a CD it takes ~two minutes to recognize the CD and populate the track data. DBPA will freeze and display not responding if I attempt to interact with it during this process. I have a Windows 7 x64 Pro system with 8GB of RAM and i9-8 Core CPU so I don't think it is a resource issue. I have a 30Mbps connection with Xfinity so I don't think it is bandwidth related. I have disabled autoplay to prevent another application from fighting DBPA for access to the CD.

I have two DVD drives and previously I was able to put discs in the system and rip them at the same time but now the hang before the tracks are recognized is making this an agonizing process. I have made sure that all applications such as iTunes are shut down to again prevent drive contention.

Any ideas as to why this might be happening is appreciated. I have DBPA in burst mode and I do get accurate rips after the track search delay which can range from 30s to 2min.

Finally figured this out. It was the METADATA settings. All were enabled with the exception of "Perfect Metadata". Once I disabled CDTEXT, Local Cache, ISRC, UPC, MusicBrainz, and TrackType it is much faster.
