Title: Ultra slow ripping speed by design
Product review: This cdrom's driver intentionally slows down ripping speeds. If you are wishing to put your legally owned music on to an mp3 player you should avoid this product. The driver description on the asus website will tell you that the speed of the cdrom is LIMITED. My first 8-10 tracks will rip at around 32x and then the cdrom will go to 1-3x for the rest of the tracks. Even with updating the firmware, this 'govenor' is in place. Why asus doesn't want you to rip mp3s could be because they want you to buy their duplicators that are hundreds of dollars in price. I'm scrapping this drive for one that will let me make mp3s at a modern speed (1-3x is ancient).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
