    Default What is the longest time EAC has taken to rip one of your CDs?

    I am currently at just over 29 hours, and there is about another hour left.

    I reckon it would have been cheaper to buy a new copy of the CD.

    Something very very wrong there. Either EAC is encountering massive CRC errors on the disc or your setup is not configured correctly.

    It normally takes me about 3 minutes to rip a CD and have it converted to FLAC.

    I think that there is a problem with the disc, as it is a one off problem.
    Everything else has worked fine.

    I once tried to get an EAC rip of a much loved cd. Although there was no obvious damage to the cd it would not rip with dBPoweramp. I started a rip with EAC just before departing on a short trip. After 3 days it had still not managed an error free rip. There are some discs which just cannot be salvaged.

    It might be worth trying again after a radical cd clean using slightly abrasive solutions (e.g. Brasso or toothpaste).

    It used to take me 20-30 mins per disc so I gave up and bought a Zen

    Used it years ago. think the longest I even waited was an hr. I had another a bit like yours that looked like it was going to take a day the way it was going but i took it out and ripped it with foobar and it ripped in 4 mins. not sure what the issue was, but might have been I picked the wrong album version. that makes it all go haywire

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    You might have a CD that has copy protection on it. The first Norah Jones CD is an example of a disc with a copy protection code.

    Many rippers have been upgraded to bypass the copy protection. Not sure about EAC.
