speed for ripping music CD's into itunes

ripping my music Cd's via Windows media player runs just fine and fast.
doing the same with itunes, my CD drive is slowing down and the speed is
frustrating, it takes 30 minutes for one music CD....
have all new versions of itunes and quick time...
did not change any settings....
tested the speed of the drive with roxy and it shows no problems...
can anybody help or has and idea?
thanks

Yes, I have an Idea: Rip your CD's with WMP.

 

thanks for the funny solution. yes, I do it already now via WMP and
afterwards transfer to iTunes. like WMP very much, but the question still
remains, why is the ripping running fast and smooth in WMP but only with half
the speed in iTunes. It just happenend out of the blue. Had no problems
before with iTune speed.

 

iTunes has an option to "Use error correction when reading Audio CDs". If
this is turned on and your CDs are dirty or scratched then this will reduce
the speed of importing.

Note: All software will import the first track(s) on a disk slower than the
later tracks because the bits on the outer part of a CD move past the head
faster (the CD starts from the inside).
