I've recently had a need to rip tracks from audio cds, and I noticed that my ASUS 50x IDE CDROM is absolutely horrible at ripping audio tracks, even though it is great for data transfer (the audio ripping was going at 2x). Anybody know a good cheap ide cdrom that will rip audio at a decent speed? If the drive can just hit 10x when ripping audio, that will be good enough for me. Thanks for any input.

The Afree IDE drives are supposed to be pretty good at DAE for their price. If you've already got SCSI and wouldn't mind spending 2-3x as much, try a Plextor Ultraplex.

ah a cdroom for ripping cd that mean by new room use to cost around 30 to 40 buck so i think you should get a cdburner richo brand 20x10x40a around 129dollar or by liteon 16x dvd drive (liteon 16x dvd is current king of DEA and richo one is doing everage 27xDEA I believe)

Afreey drives are incredibly fast and extremely cheap. I paid $30 for the 50x version which rips at 30x for me.
