If so can you explain why mine takes about 1 hour per CD?

Are you transcoding into something that requires significant number crunching? That can take time depending how powerful your computer is.Quote:

Thanks Tom. I have just downloaded the latest version of EAC and am burning as WAV files. What would be a typical time to burn an entire CD, and what settings should I check?Quote:

Are you close to using all your disk space on the PC? Or have limited RAM available - the latter can be helped if you shut eveything else down and reboot, just open the CD software.
Setting really ... just check you aren't upsampling to some higher resolution or bit rate, or applying some really high compression rate. Is the CD drive internal or external?
As far as I remember it can depend on if the CD is scratched and if you are using a high level of accuracy.
It will re-check on errors which can take ages.
Did you calibrate your drive in eac?

I haven't calibrated my drive and its the same on new or old discs. The drive is internal, but I will check the speed with just the burner running. I never had this problem on my older computer (5-10 minutes for full CD) and it was lower spec than my current one :(Quote:

dbpoweramp has a 'burst' mode which bypasses error checking.
Sounds like the drive is struggling and ripping very slow. I have a internal that does this, especially if it gets hot
I also find eac to be touchy with drives and some os.
Try a decent external one if you can.
Or trial jriver
Bit of a novice at this sort of thing. Can one buy a USB external burner which is plug and play?Quote:
