I'm having terrible performance in ripping CD's to either Ogg or MP3. I have an Athlon 1.4 GHz system with a 56X DVD and a 40X(read) CDRW. The best performance I get is about 110 KBps when ripping an audio CD.
Is this type of performance typical? Is your ripping speed much better? What can I do to imporove it? (un)Furtunately I don't have windows on my machine to compare its performance.
if you are using cdparanoia in the background under whatever applciation, try disabling 1) scratch detectiong 2) paranoia 3) extra paranoia, with tha options -X -Y and, would you believe, -Z
