I should mention that the ripping took an EXTREMELY long time compared to a clean CD - several hours. This was done a long time ago using cdparanoia and a plextor drive. cdparanoia doesn't seem to be so popular these days but it did a fine job for me in recovering some CDs that had become otherwise useless. Also, any opinions as to whether plextor drives are really that much better than the others these days? They earned a good reputation early on, but AFAICT all CD drives are now equally good at ripping. -- seanadams _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
