Wow. First time since I have my new 1.5GHz laptop, with 512MB of RAM and a 24x CD/DVD drive, that I try to rip one of my CDs to mp3:
Beautiful !
And no, it’s not a DMA problem:
[colin@jack ~]$ sudo hdparm /dev/cdrom
Password:
/dev/cdrom:
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument
And with Ogg Vorbis ?
I didn’t try, my ipod doesn’t play oggs…
It’s probably because of cdparanoia, which is much slower than cdda2wav for example. It does extra verifications, and is really good for ripping old and damaged CD :)
