EAC is doing exactly what you're asking of it. Laptop drives are generally crappy and you indicated the disc may not be the best so it's working with what it has despite the time it takes. WMP doesn't care, it rips as fast as the drive will allow and doesn't check for errors. Incidentally this is what EAC burst mode does, it doesn't check for errors, which is why it's so much faster. So it's a tradeoff - accuracy versus time. Even on an undamaged disc EAC will take longer because it does error checking. dBpowerAMP has a good idea, rip in burst mode then do an AccurateRip check, if everything's OK move on. If it's not OK, re-rip with error-checking on. This would work for most people but not for me because I have locally-pressed discs (Canadian) which aren't a bit-perfect match with the American discs that populate the AccurateRip database. AccurateRip only works some of the time for me. -- Mark Lanctot Sean Adams: "So you mean, aside from the fact that Squeezebox does not do 96KHz, why doesn't it do 96KHz?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42354 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
