Ripping CD, CPU Usage and CD Speed

So I got the Super Smash Bro 4 Soundtrack (Red, Blue)

 

I usually rip the cd in FLAC and they don't take that much but I tried to used MP3 on highest quality setting on Foobar 2000(320kbps).

 

Total time it took to rip to mp3 (1hr 18min duration) and it took about 30min....

 

Is the ripping process getting throttled by speed of the cd it was burned at?

What's it to you?

Maybe the fact that the process would be much faster using an external SSD or something as simple as a USB drive?

There's a reason CDs are no longer used by almost everyone...

So?

So he could completely avoid spending an hour ripping audio to a CD and just spend a couple seconds using a USB instead?

lol

Why would USB be involved at all? If it's a digital download there would be no transfer needed. But the OP has music on a CD and going on about how dated CDs are is not helpful and makes you look dumb.

 

To answer the OPs question:

 

What CPU is in your machine? Foobar has no way of knowing at which speed the CD was burned, and that isn't how it works anyway.

I'm sure if he had all that music on a USB stick he wouldn't be using a CD. Maybe, just maybe, he's ripping from the CD in order to put it on a USB stick. That would be a novel idea, now wouldn't it?

That's burning not ripping. Ripping is getting audio off of a CD not on it. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

That's what I figured. So back to the issue at hand, what CPU are you running? Because over an hour to rip a single CD is kind of ridiculous.

Have you tried exact audio copy? Is that faster or still the same as Foobar? I don't really like Foobar's ripping.
