Media Player CD rips slow

Media Player rip CDs of audiobooks very slowly; almost slowly as listening to the tracks... I have XP.

Hi TedMcNamara,

· What version of windows media player installed on the computer?

· What is the service pack installed on the computer?

1. your computer may take longer to rip a CD, if it has a slower processor, or not enough RAM.

2. the amount of free space and hard disk fragmentation can affect the speed of the extraction process

3. the speed and interface of the hard disk drive that you are ripping titles to can affect the speed of tear. For example, a hard disk drive 5400 RPM will probably write data slower than a 7200 RPM drive. Similarly, ripping the songs on an external hard drive connected to your computer via USB 1.1, on a drive of flash memory, or a network drive may be slower sawing through the songs directly to the hard disk drive internal to your computer.

4. the speed and interface of the CD player that you are ripping titles to can affect the speed of tear. Generally, readers at speeds above RIP songs from a CD faster than low-speed discs. Similarly, Windows Media Player will probably better run when you use a CD player connected via IEEE 1394 or USB 2.0 when using a drive connected via USB 1.1.

To select a slower burn speed:

a. in Windows Media Player, click Options in the Tools menu.

b. click the devices tab, and then double-click the name of the CD - R or CD - RW drive that you use.

c. click on the recording tab and select a write speed that is slower or is the slowest available speed.

d. click OK and then click OK.
