You can set the bitrate in the preferences dialogue, under the encoding tab I believe. As for how long it takes...well, could it be it's set to only 1 or 2x speed? Definitely shouldn't be slower nowadays. Mine is certainly a hell of a lot faster but this also depends on the speed of your drive....

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).
