Check the CD ROM drive in Device manager - have you enabled "Digital Audio"? This might help if your system supports it (it definitely makes ripping music from a CD faster). There really isn't any sort of manager read buffer for optical drives however. The most effective thing might be to rip the music the computer and eliminate the CD drive from the equation.
