Irregular import speed in iTunes using optical drive
When importing CDs using iTunes I experience very different import speeds, depending on which CD I import.
Just ten minutes ago I imported a CD and got speeds of around 18x-19x, which is impressive.
However, the next minute the speed only reaches about 6x-10x. I have even had CDs import at just 4x-5x. I can't find any pattern, and all the CDs look fine (little or no scratches etc.).
Any idea why this happens? Could it be a hardware semi-failure?
Is there a way to diagnose this problem?
