when i Extracts audio CDs by EAC, in Which way the burner less wear out?

1.when i Increase the speed of extrication (by EAC) and thereby reduce the extrication time?

Don't worry about it, burner most likely outlive the computer.

Not an issue drives are cheap.

Agreed - I’ve only had one burner conk out on me, and that was an ancient SCSI model. All others are still working fine until the PC they are in gets its marching orders

Besides which, if you’re doing a hell of a lot of extraction then it’s most likely to be because you’re converting your existing CD collection to another digital format for your own listening pleasure, which is a one-off process.

On the other hand, if you’re ripping everybody else’s CDs onto your computer, then your CD burner deserves to burn out anyway
