Won't encode a specific track

[earthbound]

There is one track on a CD I have that stalls dBpoweramp at 0% encoding. I tried flac and apple lossless encoding with the same result. This is not a CD I particularly care about but I've never had a problem like this before. What might cause this?

Try ripping to Test Conversion, this will tell if is the encoder (or HDD), or reading that is a problem.

Same result when ripping to Test Conversion. dBpoweramp hangs after ripping, at "CPU1 (or2) Encoding 0%"

Try burst mode ripping.

Try burst mode ripping.

Same result. Only difference is that progress showed 0% while ripping, then stuck at 0% encoding. I don't really care if I can rip this or not, it's more of a curiosity why it won't work. There are 4 tracks and the first 3 rip OK.

Yes, Norton Internet Security. I replied a couple days ago with my PC config (Windows 8, etc) but it didn't get posted. I could send you the CD if you want to play with it.

Re: Won't encode a specific track

I think it CD drive related, if you were to try in a different CD drive I have a feeling it would rip without problem.

Same thing happened to me. I was not getting accurate rips using an older external CD/DVD burner but was having hardly any problems with my newer laptop internal burner. To make sure, I purchased a new external usb powered CD/DVD burner and everything rips fine with this one too. So in my case, it was definitely drive related.
