I am D.J., and I have alot of cd's. The trouble is they can't stand up to the wear and tear they suffer in the DJ booth. They are always getting scratched up, and then I might as well throw them away, because the last thing anyone wants to hear while dancing in the club is a cd skip skip skipping!! I want to make copies of my originals so I don't have to keep buying new ones, but the way i've been doing it is soooo time consuming.....there has to be another way!! Right now I am just copying them into my windows media player and then burning them onto cd. I would like to find something that will do this more quickly, and without saving the original on my hard drive. Someone recommended a program called clone cd, so I downloaded the trial version, but so far it seems to be taking about as long as windows (30-45mins.) Is this the norm? I know I may seem impatient, but as I said before, I have alot of cd's to backup, and at this rate they will all be outdated before I have them done!!

I think if you go through WMP it converts them to wma files first, which will add time, but I can't be sure of that, I've never used WMP as a ripping tool. One good one I like to recommend is Exact Audio Copy, it is freeware and especially good with scratched disks:

The fact that your disks are scratched could be having an impact too, if your CD-ROM has problems reading the data it is going to retry to read the block several times and/or slow down the read speed to compensate. Another factor is the read and write speed of your drives. You also want to be sure that DMA is enabled (assuming your drive supports it):

I you're using homestead windows XP then you certainly can use XP CD author gadget to repeat/Create Cds. while you're using any flavour of Linux then that distribution usually would have its very own CD Buring utility. in recent times there is not any could decide for a third occasion CD Buring utility.

Duplicating CDs is time consuming, but it really depends on the speed of your CD recorder or rewritable drive. The faster the writing speed of your cd drive the faster you will get finished burning. Most software will let you select the writing speed when you are duplicating.
I use Nero to duplicate DVD, data and audio CDs and I have a CD-RW/DVD-RW Drive. I can write up to 32x CD-R/CD-RW or 16x DVD-R/DVD-RW.

You need two CD drive, then one that can read the CD and one that can write the CD. Our desktop computer is able to do that.
