Are you doing 'Test & Copy' or just 'Copy'? Test and Copy will immediately double your ripping time.
Are you encoding in the background? Particularly if you're doing lossy compression, say to MP3 using LAME, then you'll want to encode in the background while the next track is being read. In EAC's main Options, under 'Tools' set 'On extraction, start external compressors queued in the background' to at least 1. If you're using AccurateRip, and ripping fairly popular CDs, there may be no reason to use Secure mode until you've ripped and found that the album isn't in the AccurateRip database. The usual operating procedure would be to rip in Burst mode, check the log output, then rip in Secure mode if you don't get AccurateRip verification that all of the tracks were ripped successfully. For my collection... mostly jazz, with some CDs that I've owned for 20 years, I find the AccurateRip database coverage to be poor, so I tend to use Secure mode with Test & Copy all of the time. I have a Plextor PX712-A drive, but I'd say my ripping times are about 1/2 of what you're seeing - 12 to 18 minutes. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47951 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
