it may also be that when you're using grip to do a batch project it doesnt
notify you when one track is done. the progress meter is for the entire CD,
not the current track. grip is merely a front end for cdparanoia and lame.
cdparanoia is what's used to get the data from the cd and in my past
experiences it's been quite fast. i recall my first days using it and when
telling it to rip an entire cd, it'd only display the status meter for the
whole batch. i didn't much care for that but then i realized that it was
ripping the cd as one big file rather than say 12 different ones. might want
to look into that and see how it's being done.
