It depends partly on how many defects/scratches and dirt are on the discs. Cleaning the discs before ripping may help. If you are using something like dbPoweramp the settings you use will also make a difference. For example when it makes the first attempt at ripping the track it checks the accuraterip database to see if the checksums are the same, if the disc is not in the database then it will re-rip a number of times depending on how you set it up before confirming that it is happy with the rip. There is lots of information on the dbPoweramp site on all the different things that go into ripping the cds (useful information even if you are not using dbPoweramp).I’m going to use this thread to ask a tangential question, if the OP wants me to delete it just say and I will.
Here goes.
Why do some CDs take longer to rip than others? Is there any trick for speeding up the process?
