I'm running F12 on 2 systems. The first is a desktop system the other a laptop. When I try to rip a music CD using grip on the laptop the first 10 tracks rip very quickly, but when it gets to track 11 the ripping process slows down dramatically. The first 10 tracks ripped and encoded wav->mp3 within 15 minutes, but it's been running for over 45 minutes ripping track 11 and it's barely half way through. When I take the same CD and rip it on the desktop I don't see the problem. On the desktop the whole disk rips and encodes in about 15 minutes.

I've tried ripping it several times with the same results. The laptop is a core 2 duo with 2G of mem The desktop is a core 2 quad with 4G of mem Thanks, Paolo -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
