I used to get 9x on my old G4 under Mac o/s 9. I just ripped a bunch of CD's last week and only got 1x. I was able to get it up to 2x after I quit as many application programs as I could. I've been looking forward to trying this out on my new dual G5. As I was typing this, it occurred to me that my slow down might have been caused entirely or in part by switching to AAC from MP3.
