Speed of Ripping

[dljjohn1]

With the newest version of the software it is taking me 90 minutes to rip something that use to take me 11 minutes. What should I do.

Try ripping to wave (time how long to rip a CD), that will tell me if it is the ripping part or compression that is slower.

It took 45 minutes to rip using wave. Before this newer version on the software it would take around 10 minutes

that is slow. i just ripped to wav an entire album 43:04 in total length and it only took 1:44 to finish ripping.

i'm running AMD Athlon 1.33ghz, but lowered to run at 1ghz.

what is your system?

I am running a gateway 2.19 ghz with 512 ram. Maybe I have something set wrong. Any suggestions?

your system is fast and if you got faster ripping speeds before it should still be the same same speed now.

hmmm......

i can't think of anything off hand right now. does using the rip to ram feature in powerapack make any difference?

I unchecked my rip to ram and was able to rip in 8 minutes instead of 90 minutes. It seams when I am ripping now my machine runs slow. Any ideas??

well that is a drastic difference. if all you did was not use rip to ram first then maybe a ram problem? what is your operating system? XP? win98se?

XP is my operating system

Make sure the ram amount that is being used is set the Maximum for rip to ram. If still no go then let me know.

Re: Speed of Ripping

This is a result of your Priority being set to high. I had the same problem. One would think setting the priority higher would increase ripping speed, however, when ripping to RAM if the Priority is set to high, then the computer can't access the RAM. The bottom line: If you set your priority to Normal, then the Rip to RAM option will work significantly better.
