Ripping A Cd - Very Slow .....
8 Answers
So I've been using WMP to rip some CD's on to my laptop running W10.
I've done quite a few so far (in excess of 50, possibly closer to 100) and all have ripped no problem.
However, I noticed the last one slowed down to a snail's pace and took ages ..... and now this one has really slowed down - it's literally going to take hours to rip the full CD.
I've tried clearing cache, cookies, temporary files, etc - rebooted laptop several times - all to no avail and I've lowered the output quality to the 2nd lowest setting (I'm ripping to MP3 format).
I've tried using a different programme (Express Rip) - no change.
So far this morning, in the last 30 mins ish, it's ripped 1 1/2 tracks .... only 12 1/2 left lol :(
Anyone any ideas what's going on??
Have I just come across an "awkward" CD, or is there something going on that I'm unaware of??

.... well .... it's eventually ripped the CD - but boy did it struggle. My missus kept an eye on it whilst I was at work and I think it took 5 - 6 hours to rip something like 12 tracks.
I'm now convinced that the CD is a copy, (although it's meant to be an original) as the CD sleeves are not very good quality, although the 2 CD's themselves look fine.
I think I've just answered my own question here folks, but thanks for the input anyway :)

Just for the record, the problem CD was, "The Best Air Guitar Album in the World III".
I also have volumes I and II and the sleeves on them are printed on both sides. On my volume III, the sleeves only have printing on one side, which is the giveaway in my eyes. If you weren't looking, you'd probably never notice, as the CD's themselves look okay and play okay - the only giveaway is when I compare the sleeves on Volumes I, II and III ...... and when I try and rip the CD lol :P
