Your GUI is probabaly fronting for cdparanoia, an excellent ripper with lots of error corrections, I don't know what encoder, but I suggest ogg rather than mp3. ogg is open source (copyleft), mp3 has a copyright owned by some German company.
Remember the Windows ripping programs would give you tracks with skips? cdparanoia hardly ever lets a rip get by with that.
It will rip some stuff fast, some stuff slow depending on the particular CD, and some have some sort of copy protection to mess up copying programs as well.
I need to update this to the newer kernel versions:
How about CD copying, ripping and burning? I can't figure it out.

Is it configured and what is the device? Command this to find out:
