I produce radio programs on my PC. This involves ripping tracks from
many, many CD's during a session.

In order to save wear and tear on my CD burner (a PlexWriter if you
must know), I want to get a CD or DVD-ROM drive to rip the discs and
leave the burner for burning. I understand however, that many CD/DVD
ROM drives which are perfect for data are inadequadate for ripping
CDDA (my extraction software says "resync required", which slows
ripping down considerably).

Which brands and models of drives have people in this forum used
successfully for ripping CDDA? Where can you get them?

Thanks in advance.
