Audio Catalyst works great un 2k (even though they claim it doesn't work at all). I have the TDK 12/10/32, which is pretty much the same thing as yours, and I get full speed audio ripping (32x max). Download the trial to see if it works for you. You will need to install an aspi driver if you don't already have one - let me know if you need help with that.

It does have cddb - what is different about cddb2?
As far as my settings, I have it on aspi at the default setting. Try ripping it to wave instead of mp3, and see what you get. I know that if I go directly to mp3, I only get about 13x-14x - that's as fast as my poor p3 700 can encode it! But if you go only to wave, you'll see the true DAE power of these drives

CDDB2 is the new version of CDDB they are nolonger taking submissions to CDDB....they are only putting them on CDDB2...but they are uploading all of the CDDB1 to the newer CDDB2....but they are not going backwards
so if you submit something to CDDB2, CDDB1 will not see it...therefore Audio Catalyst will not see new cd's

the best thing for ripping CDs is Winamp. It will rip them to wave but if you want the best encoding then use winamp to rip to wave or use musicmatch jukebox to encode this link will show you just how bad some programs are at ripping Mp3s.

Windows 2000 allows the use of freeDB, rather than CDDB2, due to NTFS file system:

Winamp, Nero and Feurio use it and EAC may be configured to work with it.
