I'm trying to get my CD collection ripped into iTunes. I have a late-2012 iMac with the Core i7, 16gb ram and the fusion drive. I picked up a SuperDrive today. Ripping the CDs seems to be taking longer than it should. I'm ripping at 192kbps MP3 format with error correction turned off. Most CDs are ripping at 5-7x, with a select few getting up to 18x. I've tried power-cycling the iMac but that hasn't helped yet.
Any tips on how I can get this to rip faster? I don't believe it's because I'm low on system resources. No other applications are running.
