When I first started with DB poweramp ripping speed was good-5 to 7 minutes a CD. But now it has slowed way down to about 20 minutes a CD. The rate compared to real time has slipped from between 5 and 8x to less than 1.0x Ripping speed is set to maximum and I'm ripping to 128 Kb/s. Furthermore, DB seems to be hogging all system resources now. Can anyone help?

Re: ripping speed
Did your PowerPack trial expire? Check dMC Configuration (Start --> Programs --> dBpowerAMP Music Converter --> Configuration --> dMC Configuration) to check. If it did expire and you installed a registered version, you need to re-enable some PowerPack-specific enhancements. In Audio CD Input, click the Rocket Icon. Now make sure both "Rip to RAM" and "Rip & Encode at the same time" are both checked. -
Re: ripping speed
Also a drive can revert in windows to PIO transfer which is bad and slow, it should be on DMA (I know for the new CD ripper there will be pages on this, but a search on google should help).Comment

Re: ripping speed
Go into your System Properties from the Control Panel, click on the Hardware tab, click "Device Manager" and then select your Primary and Secondary IDE controller. On one of the tabs, you have an option for "DMA if available" or "PIO Only" for both the Master and Slave device on each controller. Make sure they are set to "DMA if available". If you cannot select this and this is the secondary IDE controller, close the properties window, uninstall the Secondary IDE controller, then click the Action menu on the top, and then click "Scan for hardware changes." This should redetect your Secondary IDE controller and should now be set to "DMA if available".
Why did this happen? Most likely, it was due to a "feature" of Windows XP that drops your CD Drive to PIO Mode if there are a lot of read errors on a particular CD.
If that isn't your problem, please put your system specs (amount of RAM, CPU type and speed) here.Comment
