Hi, Please note that this answer is not based on science, rather more exeprience and feel.
I guess that the answer is to some part given by the name cdparanoia containing "paranoid". Exact audio copy (EAC) is, I guess, still state of the art for riping on Windows. I recall once trying to rip a CD using EAC on a crappy drive. It did not rip even one full track in 16 hours! Other programs did rip using the same drive, even though the wav-file sometimes had some snaps and pops. As you said: "3x to 25x depending on the quality". MusicMatch is created for convenience and ease of use, while other programs may empasise more techical aspects. Personally I prefer to let the computer spend a few minutes extra in both ripping and encoding. The files will anyway be on my drive for years! regards, per > Like VPutz, I was disappointed (my only Freevo disappointment thus far!) in > the ripping speed through Freevo.
