mp3 ripping

[Saabyfox]

Currently sitting here ripping all my cds to MP3 via Media player10. Watching the task manager, WMP never seems to use a large amount of processor time, and it can take 5-10 minutes per cd.
God its slow - does anyone know of another tool for this purpose that may be faster or more efficient ?
I am ripping at 320kb/s.

I use CDEX , dunno if it'd be quicker tho.

The bottleneck on modern PCs is usually the reading the data off the CD, not the encoding.

Different software probably wont make alot of difference.

A Faster CD ROM drive might

Yep, it'll be your CD/DVD drive that's the bottleneck.
