*Assuming* the audio CD is 600MB, your reading about 9.1MB/SEC!!!

UPDATE: all my previous comments where using "Clone CD" in K3b.

Now, I am trying "Copy CD" in K3b.

With Paranoia at 3: about 60 secs PER TRACK = about 18 MINUTES!
With paranoia at 0: about 35 secs PER TRACK = about 10 MINUTES!

I can only guess the write times would also be very high!

Should I say "Clone CD" suxs less than "Copy CD", or "Copy CD" suxs
more than "Clone CD", or they both suck?
