Does anybody know how fast the various CDROM drives can rip audio CDs
into .wav files? They all specify their speed for CDROMs, but audio
speed is VERY different....

I'm looking for one that can rip at least 8x realtime, so it can keep up
with MP3 encoding on my new system. I know the SONY CD-RW CRX160E can
do 8x (I have one at work), but I don't want to spend the $$ for a
CD-writer.

IDE/EIDE/ATAPI only; interface supports UDMA-100 and ATA-100.

I've got a Toshiba 6402B and it handles RIP speeds between 6x-11x (inner
to outer sectors). Also good are Pioneer CD-Rs.
