hi,
the reason why you rip cd with CDEx slower then windows media player or winamp
is, CDex rip a single track in 2 process. the first
process is rip into .wav format and the second process is rip into .mp3. so let
say your cd have 20 tracks on it, it will convert 40
times in total. unlike win media player or others software, it will only direct
convert to .mp3.
hope this helps.

Hi,
I have found that Cdex takes about 20 minutes to rip a CD on my system, a
Dell Dimension 5150 with a 3.4ghz processor and 2 gigs of RAM. One of my
buddies who has an ancient iMac says he can rip an entire CD in just a few
minutes. Another friend of mine says he can rip CD's using Windows Media
Player quicker than Cdex will, so I tested Windows Media Player and found no
appreciable difference in speed. I don't really know what the deal is here.
As long as Cdex works, I'm cool with it. I'll just find something to do
while it's doing its thing.
