CD Ripping Slower Then Expected
« on: January 10, 2005, 03:56:11 pm »
I noticed that the past few times I have ripped a CD in MC 11 the speed maxes out it about 4.9x. In MC 10 I remember going as high at 12x. Did something change? Am I doing something wrong?

Also, I have a 48x reader, so I would think that it could rip at 48x. Does anybody know why the ripping speed is less?

Regards,

Odds are you are ripping and encoding simultaneously to MP3, right?

 ;D  Now how did I know that?  :P



Lame encoder was updated between MC 10 and MC 11.  Default settings in MC 11 make lame encoding VERY slow.  (Lame's fault, not MC's.)  Do a forum search for "slow ripping mp3" or something, or wait for someone else to respond who actually uses MP3 (I don't).  There's a solution.

I will run the search. Thanks for the info ;D

BTW what encoding do you use? I have been using mp3 because of my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra, but if there is a better solution I would love to hear it!

Oh, I don't own a portable, so that's never a concern for me.  I rip everything to lossless APE.  (If the day ever comes when I use a portable--and I don't see that happening any time soon :P--then it will be easy to transcode it from that to some lossy format.)
