Hi Guys: Well I think I've sort of figured out the problem, but there's more to it. I really don't know what the heck I've done. I'm using cdex 1.51 with windows 98. I decided to redo a cd the original copy when I zipped it up was 37mb, when I redid it the zip file was 13mb is major compression a feature of 1.51. I know that zipping mp3 files does not compress them and even when I look at the uncompressed files they're small, only 1mb and change where most used to be 2 or 3mb. So, is this just an issue between upgrades and nothing to worry over? Now looking at the user settings the ripping method is set to standard thread priority is normal, what exactly is this and what does it do? bit rate is 48kbps quality normal q=5 what is this and can I increase it without suffering? output sample rate is 44100 what is this? Now I think I had set either the bit rate or the output sample rate higher and that may have been the cause of the major slow down, but I don't know if there was any increase in quality and my question re the compression hasn't been changed because of altering these settings. If anyone has a clue what I'm talking about LOL I'd be interested in hearing about it. No, the cd being copied from was not damaged. Thanks for any ideas.
