The reason it takes that long its because you are using cdparanoia, its verifying every bit of your rip so it makes digital perfect copies, I suggest you keep it that way if you care about audio quality. If you were ripping in a PC via EAC (Exact Audio Copy) which is the best pc ripper it would also take that long. But if you want speed and less quality, just use itunes... -- GuyDebord Reference 3A Royal Master monitors biwired with van den Hul Inspiration cables, REL Strata 5 sub.
