Ah!  Yes, I was paying attention when you mentioned this in an older thread.  
I also checked online reviews to confirm that they were still making good 
devices before I ordered this one.

I think you meant to say:  

readcd -noerror -edc-corr

This is was I am getting.

# readcd -noerror -edc-corr

The count of errors runs in the thousands, until I cancel the command.

Thanks again for your help (and software) Jörg.  I usually buy memorex and 
verbatim when I burn my own CDs with good results, but this sample was created 
by a friend of mine, who's now a few thousand miles away.  I will be using my 
media and burner when I meet him next time, to avoid disappointment.  ;-)
