I get a Windows Menu as soon as the CD is recognized, asking me if I want to rip or play the CD.
Once I select Rip, MM opens and Freedb is contacted to fill in the track names and genres.
I rip. Takes about 3-5 minutes, yes. It really depends on your CD Writer. I often tell MM and other ripping programs to rip at the slowest possible speed. Less errors and digital noise that way.
Once ripped, I have told MM to rip the tracks into a temporary directory. There I can review the tracks, use a wave editor to boost the volume or reduce audio compression. Once I am satisfied with the sound, I tag, then rescan then convert to flac.
Total time for a CD is about 10 minutes, maybe 20 if the files need tweeking.
