CD ripping speed?

[Sam Tygier]

i'd recommend trying grip for ripping cds to ogg. it is quite a bit more complex than sound juicer, but let you control the level of paranoia (scratch detection/repair), so if you you know that your disk are clean, then you can rip them a bit faster. also lets you control the ogg quality, but you'll need to read the manual.
