Ripping takes at least two times as long as some quick-and-dirty burst-mode ripper
...but for a bit-identical copy of your audio CD you were expecting that, right?

Con
Can't control bitstream and sampling rate
These are properties of the file, so you get what's there - an exact digital copy of the material on the CD. Changing these means editing the file. The most common sampling rate is 44.1K samples/second with a sample size of 16 bits. Unless you're dealing with studio masters, which are often recorded at a sample rate of 48K samples/second, there's no advantage at all in upping the specs on a file which was recorded on CD at 16/44.1.
