Had bought Media Center 23 a month ago to rip some compilations as birthday present,
but ripping to MP3 turned to be deathly slow - a 15 second intro took literally minutes to rip.
I thought there might be a problem with the Media Center, so bought the MP3 encoder for my old Jukebox - still slow.
Installed the recent update, still slow.
I swapped antivirus software to Avira in case that was interfering (people on the blog seemed to be happier with it) -
still hasn't helped 

Best,Bill

Please describe your setup.

Possibilities:

Antivirus (still)

Problem with a drive

Destination disk full

Network problem if destination is slow

USB 3.0 drive on a USB 2.0 connection

Windows updates have lately been flaky.

Try ripping to WAV.  That requires no encoding.

Try other CD's.

Avira antivirus (uninstalled Malwarebytes)
Gigabytes of free space
Destination is local - simple CD to main drive.
Whole purpose is to make MP3's, so WAV not an option.
Matshita CD Drive didn't show problems with playing, but trying a generic disk imaging program has similar slowness, so either I figure out what's wrong w CD software or get an external USB 3.0 :-(

THanks

And remember that ripping in secure mode is slower because we read every sector twice and give a report at the end.

Switch out of that mode if speed is critical.
