In fact, it's simply Windows 11 Media Player rather than Windows 10. (MP3 320 kbps)
If the disc remains intact, a 24x speed drive would require just under three minutes to process a full standard 70-minute Red Book audio CD. (This excludes encoding time, though modern systems handle it quickly.) MP3 compression was quicker than real time twenty years ago. Earlier CD-ROM drives could read at double that rate (48x). It’s unlikely the speed is truly one-for-one, otherwise a full disc would take more than an hour. A 16x drive would finish the job in under four minutes.
Oh ok so it isn't the drive I did notice it sped up when I stopped playing the disc while ripping (but I always do that on my laptop and it doesn't seem to impact it much ) I mean that was just a guess (but could be accurate it sounds louder than it should but the drive in the Lenovo is really flimsy!) and a lot of albums are just like 45 minutes or so. But yeah, I'm gonna check how long it takes next time and ideally with a CD that's 60 or 70 minutes or something. Ie maybe the drive is just really silent, but also definitely has issues playing and ripping at the same time (unless that's a win 11 thing lol) That's the other thing, the disc is scratched pretty badly (for my tastes) maybe that's why it started skipping when I tried playing while ripping... The rip has been flawless however, luckily!
