As long as your software/firmware is actually checking for read errors, you should be able to rip at whatever speed allows correct reading. Ideally the software should automatically drop to a slower speed and retry the read when there is a high error rate. This works because CDs contain error correction/detection data (in fact this is a large portion of the disc's raw data) that can be used to check if a read was correct and sometimes to reconstruct the correct data if only a few bits are off (fundamentally it's the same technique as used by PAR files and RAID 5 arrays).
Now as to whether or not it matters at all, it does - higher speeds are more likely to run into errors and require a retry/drop to a slower speed. However, it has no effect on the readability of the produced copy unless your software and/or firmware are broken.

Ok... So me and rabbit are in an argument.
We are talking about dvdrw drives and he starts talking about cdrw drives too..
Rabbit states that rip speed doesn't matter and only the burn speed matters.
Please set this Rabbit straight, :lol:
