Ripping errors on last 2-3 tracks

[EdH]

About 10% of my CDs are having trouble ripping the last 1-3 tracks. At first I was running with the default settings for CD Ripper. I ran into a couple of last track errors which I was able to recover by ripping again 2-3 times.

After I started finding more CDs with trouble I reset options to match the dBpoweramp CD Ripper: Setup Guide

I am still having no luck ripping some of these tracks. The CD looks pristine, and is clean. I have tried this both on my main drive, a SATA connected Lite-on DVDRW LH-20A1S, and a backup USB2.0 connected HP DVD Writer 840d.

Example errors follow

If it was just one isolated CD, or just one drive, I would just think it was a damaged CD, but I'm running into this frequently.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ed

Get yourself another CD drive, a different make, it should help.

Re: Ripping errors on last 2-3 tracks

An additional piece of information that another newbie might find useful. I found the Drive Accuracy post (here) on the forum and discovered my Lite-on drive is firmly in the middle of the pack. I'll look at other drives I have available and see if I can try this on a better drive.

Since I posted, I've had much better luck, and am now up to 100 CDs ripped. When I do get errors, they tend to consistently be in the last couple of tracks, so I will retry them on a different drive once I finish.

Thanks again for the help.
