Hi Howard, When in CDEX, press F4. Arrow up or down to Encoders. Tab and you will come to options for the bit rate, VBR etc. The time it takes to rip might have something to do with your quality setting which you will come to if you keep tabbing. The higher the quality setting, the longer it will take. I set mine to high.

But now: This thing takes from 20 to 30 minutes to rip a 45 minute CD. It used to work a lot faster when I did it on my XP machine. Have I got something set wrong? And I'd like to rip at a fixed rate of 128, but it's giving me a variable bit rate. How can I fix that? On 6/8/2020 2:36 PM, JM Casey wrote: > I think there is only a 32-bit version, so (x86).
