Okay . . .

I currently use CDEX to rip all my CDs to my computer's harddrive.

I prefer CDEX for the CDDB utility (it accesses an online database to populate track information for each album. Other ripping software had weird issues about that).

However, it is a terribly slow process. How is it for others?

I find that, on average, a 10-song CD takes as long as 10 to 15 minutes to rip.

Is it a limitation in my system's memory that is slowing the process down? (It's a limited home system, and I do need to upgrade the RAM). I don't recall that WinMP was any quicker, so I don't think it's CDEX itself causing the issue . . .

Are other people just having to grin-and-bear it, like me? Or am I just the (un)lucky one?

How quickly are you able to rip YOUR CDs?
