I am in process of ripping a CD Single, which is a bit scuffed up. The first time I ripped it I did not get any error log comments presented (usually popd up when closing the rip window)... however the track has skips on it. So I decided to do this again and adjust down the speed setting in the CD/DVD section of settings. The settings appear to be a hang over from the Windows version since it shows my device first (/dev/sr0) then drice D: Drive E: etc all the way to G: ... anyway I changed /dev/sr0 to a speed of 4x maximum. Loaded the CD in again and the ripp process took it all the way up to 10x +. OK so I went back in and changed every CD device existing r not to max 4x and again the rip process went up past 10x and I have tracks with skips in them on playback...

Basically these settings in Linux version are being ignored.?

Thx

I doubt it's implemented. If I get a chance I'll check it out. Pretty backed up with tasks right now.

Looks like it is implemented. Your drive might not support it however.
You can look in the log for mmc_set_speed logging.

Also if you install the libcdio-utils package on your linux box you can use the
cd-drive
command to retrieve the drive capabilities. Neither my LG built in drive or usb drive supports speed setting.

Appreciate the follow up and confirmation Bob.. I can confirm that the "Secure" settings work and indeed that fixed the problem of ripping with skips and issues. On that particular disk I was looking at using secure mode the drive ran at about 1.9x and gave me the popup on the errors at the end (I did not see that with out secure mode). The errors that it did find on the rip were not audible on the final resulting file.

So for anyone else searching the forums with ripping problems in MC Linux, the "Secure' setting is more important - probably should be the default.
