I noticed that with .73 (haven't moved to .74 yet) the CD rip speed indicator isn't making sense. I have a 52x max speed CDRW drive, but it's only set to reach 40x speed. I just had it reach 55x on the FIRST track of a CD -- even with the high speed enabled, there's no way it could reach the highest speed on the first track of a CD. As the rip progressed, the subsequent tracks reported lower and lower speed settings. The last track of this CD is 23 minutes long, but the speed only reached about 4.6x. The time it took to rip the song, however, was very quick. In other words, the "actual" speed that it's ripping is not matching what the number indicates.
On a similar subject, I preferred being able to check the actual "rip" speed of the last song after it's finished. At the moment, all I can check is the last "encode"speed, which I'm not even sure how to interpret.
UPDATE -- I just ripped another CD and the first song hit the mid 90's. This either isn't rip speed, or something is wrong.
