Re: CD Ripping Slow, and then Fast...?
David, as I've mentioned in a previous post in this thread I've ripped thousands of CD's and have had reliable performance from the LG 24X SATA Super-Multi DVD drives (GH24NS95B) and Pioneer 15X Blu Ray drives (BDR-208BDK). Spoon would have to confirm the following statement and why it is the case, and I don't know what everyone's expectations are when ripping or if they are expecting the rip to start out at like x40+ and maintain that speed throughout the rip but, my experience has been that the ripping speeds generally do start out slower (x8 or x13 or whatever) and then ramp up as the rip proceeds (generally to x30+). I don't necessarily think this is a problem with the software. I have experienced a couple of times where a CD rips at a constant very slow speed like x3 for the entire CD but that resulted in an accurate rip. There are so many variables to consider such as the drive hardware/system compatibility issues like you may be experiencing, condition of the CD's, and as I mentioned before, some CD's just rip slower for some reason. But if you get a new drive that works better with your system and you can achieve constant rip speeds in the high twenties mid thirties I'd say that is a normal.

). EAC had C2 on, dBpa had C2 off. Setting C2 to on in dBpa (detected as supported on my drive) made dBpa rip as quickly as EAC. Utterly bizarre that this speeds ripping up so dramatically, but thank you!
