Anyone have a clue why my CD is so slow?

KernelPanic:
Your ripping backend will be cdparanoia, you will get faster results with cdda2wav but lose error checking and jitter correction and stuff.
To be fair, Lite-on drives tend to be pretty shit hot at DAE so you may do well with cdda2wav.

Try the program grip as it allows you to play with settings and backends until you are happy.

Also, before someone comes and says, "My Windows boxen rip CDs at One-Million times". Fuck you!
A fair comparison between Windows and Linux ripping is between EAC and cdparanoia respectively.

Additionally you may need to set the correct read speed for your drive;
man hdparm
man eject

mobrien_12:
What if you use a command line tool like cdparanoia?

Is still so slow?

OK... I use a pentium IV.

How would I do that?

I would say it preformed fine under win98

Do you think I should use my other drive, Sony CD-R, instead? It seems to me to be just as slow.

Now Goobox seems to be capable of ripping the CDs quite decently (10 minutes on the Sony for 43 minutes of music), but it sometimes stops for no apparent reason just at the beginning of a track. I managed to rip a  whole CD except for two tracks in less than 20 min. (on the Lite-on) and then the remaining two in Sound Juicer in about four minutes. But this is just nonsense. I will try cdparanoia tomorrow, it's getting late now. Just skimming through the text the terminal spat out after typing cdparanoia: wtf are little endians and big endians doing there??? Aren't they the t  
wo lilliputan nations from "Gulliver's Travels"?

Thanks for all your suggestions

[onsecondthought=decidedtotryoutcdparanoia]And can I make cdparanoia extract to oggs?[/onsecondthought]

KernelPanic:
paranoia will extract to WAV. You use oggenc to go to Vorbis.
Or just use grip to automate the whole process and write ID3 tags.

Aside:
1) When I said 'shit hot' I meant very good.
2) Many Sony drives are Liteon drives internally, just more expensive...

Yes, aren't hackers funny?

Just replace the eggs with numbers and it makes sense.
little endian = least significant bit first
big endian = most significant bit first

Little endian rules the roost in x86 land and a standard MS PCM WAV is little endian too.
