SUMMARY The following commit makes Audex reading subchannel infos at start (or end?) of every audio track ("Fetching extra information from disc...") during extraction, causing the process to stall for ~20-30 seconds per track: https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/audex/-/commit/f3da7ab976b241e5784a9c4861828578dd80c8c5 * Add MCN and ISRC placeholders * Some code consistency fixes * Show more device capabilities on device widget STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start audio extraction (I have paranoia mode enabled.) 2. Watch messages of extraction process in its window. OBSERVED RESULT At change between tracks, there is the message "Fetching extra information from disc...", the process stalls for ~20-30 sec. while CD drive is making busy sounds. EXPECTED RESULT For me the previous behaviour (direct continuation of the extraction process between tracks without the subchannel info fetching) is more desireable. I'm not sure if those subchannel infos that Audex fetches have any purpose at all for my use case (converting audio discs to track-by-track flac files). If the subchannel infos are not related to the integrity/quality of the actual audio data, a setting to enable/disable fetching subchannel infos would be really useful for me! ADDITIONAL INFORMATION My drive (information from Audex Device Settings:) Vendor: HL-DT-ST (imprint says "LG") Model: DVDRAM GH24NS95 Revision: RN00 Tested with kdesrc builds of Audex and Plasma 6.0 on Ubuntu 23.10.
Thanks for reporting. Should be fixed with commit 095f60f57446e8873489c180393d78f537c65ec6.

Strange, I can't find that commit, neither when browsing commit history invent.kde.org nor on local clone: $git log 095f60f57446e8873489c180393d78f537c65ec6 fatal: bad object 095f60f57446e8873489c180393d78f537c65ec6
Sorry, I have not pushed it for now, as it needs some more testing. There is another problem with libcdio (integration). Until then I have to ask you for some patience.
Ok, no hurry then :)
