many of those apps sacrifice audio quality for speed. I can rip at 4x-8x if I use cdda2wav which simply start's the stream and accepts any errors from the drive. cdparanoia is making sure you get a 100% accurate copy of the audio. if you don't care about quality and want speed you can switch off

nope. an audio CD is not formatted like a data CD so therefore it must be read in a linear fashon carefully. there is no way to rip an audio CD at your drive's read speed. although some older drives (specifically a old 8X plextor I have) seem to rip from an audio CD much faster than any newer cd o
