It does seem bizzare but as far as I can see, all the above were OK. The drive is out of the machine now and the jumper is defo set as master, the bay it was in means it must have had the 'master' plug in place because the 'slave' one wouldn't have reached. I specifically checked both the DMA and Digital Audio settings after a long chat with the Samsung Helpdesk. Also I plonked the old CDRW drive straight back in at it worked perfectly. Curious though, if it was any of the above things, wouldn't that have had a negative impact when I ran the Nero drive test utility? On test it averaged x24 reading from an audio disc vs x30 for my other drive (so pretty good) but try and rip with iTunes and it's back to x4-x8ish when the other does x33+ with the same disc... -- hifisteve ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hifisteve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22679 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
