Windows Media Player SLOW
Hi
Does anyone know why Windows Media Player sometimes slows to a very slow ripping speed (less than 1% per minute) sometimes? Most disks rip fine, but some take forever to rip. Disk damage?

i'd use a different program, if your just taking disc images, something like winiso, or even nero will do that for ya. using windows media player for that is like using a camera phone and expecting 35mm quality.

Mine is always super fast now that I have 2 gigs of ram and a new processor.. Still that program is really slow in general, even on a really fast system. Grr

I use CoffeeCup MP3 Rip & Burn for all of my ripping needs. http://www.coffeecup.com/mp3-ripper/ It does everything that WMP does cleaner and faster.
If you have any interest, I am an "ambassador" for CoffeeCup, which basically means "a long time user". As a result, I can give you a free copy, if you are interested, no strings attached.
The whole deal is documented in this thread I started; http://www.wattora.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2855
Anyway, if you want me to submit your email address for a download link, PM it to me.
