phunni Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I've been trying to rip some MP3's from my CD collection using grip. Ever since I turned on the ID3 tagging thing for encoding MP3s it's become ridiculously slow... I really want the ID3 tags because I'm hoping to get an ipod and I believe they use them, but it's taking over an hour to rip one track - if it even succeeds! Any ideas as to how I can improve on this...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Or, another question, does anyone know of any oher software that will encode into MP3 with support for ID3 tags at a decent quality? Having said, that I'm assuming most of them use lame - so I might get the same issues as I get with grip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowator Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Is it just a problem resolving the track info from cddb perhaps where its waiting to time out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 quite possibly - in which case I suppose that all apps would have the same issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 then it might be the settings in the cddb part? perhaps something has changed at the cddb end... Ill try tonight see if i get the same probs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 grip reads the CDDB data as soon as you stick the CD in, it doesn't wait until you rip, and it has about a one minute time out, so I don't think that'd be it. It's definitely an odd problem, though. If you run GNOME, you might want to try sound-juicer, from contrib... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 OK, I switched on both tags and IDv32 tags and it takes like 10 secs to rip a track on a lame 3.9.6 and grip 3.2.0 (debian) so something is wrong with your settings somewhere....
