Osmosis won't do it for you....
Keep in mind that each track runs anywhere from 20,000,000 bytes of info. to well over 50 MILLION... That's a LOT of data... then of course it must be compressed, (maybe normalized) and then of course, rewritten back to the drive....
If your 45 minute disc took 45 mins. to import, then you need to check your original disc.... it probably is either dirty or scratched.
The software will do as much "error correction" as it can when it imports a disc.... if the disc is dirty, coated with nicotine, or just has a lot of little scratches in it, the software will have to take more time to do this error correction.
I make sure that each disc is absolutely clean before I attempt to import it.... If it is clean, it takes me approximately 50 SECONDS to import a 4 1/2 min. song with a "clean" disc.
If that fails, try this: Copy the disc with Microstudio first and then import the copy.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel though: you only have to do it once....
BTW, if you want to avoid committing suicide at a later date, invest in an external hard drive and keep a backup copy of your songs there.... if... and only if..... your hard drive crashes in the middle of a show, you won't have to spend this same time importing them again.... You can purchase an external 120 gig drive direct from MTU I'm sure...
