Currently running MC 17.0.33.
My CD rip performance is painfully slow... around 3.4x. It was definitely much faster in the past on MC16. I played with the expert options and noticed that the slowness when I separate ripping and encoding is the actual rip portion not encoding. But I'm encoding using LAME to 320k MP3 format. My current DVD/CD-RW drive might be slower than when I ran MC16 but not that slow. Here are the drive specs:
•Toshiba TS-H653T 16x DVD±RW DL SATA Drive
•16x read speed (DVD)
•48x write speed (CD-R)
•32x rewrite speed (CD-RW)
•48x read speed (CD)
The MC17 server is running on Win7 OS, quad core AMD, 6GB RAM, SSD (OS, MC, MC Library database), sata drive for music files.
Do I just need to update, or is there some option I need to adjust?
