I have found that dBPowerAmp doesn't have any kind of correction for reading disks that are scratched or damaged - the resulting mp3s "skip".
windows media player, however, seems to have some kind of error correction for damaged disks - these disks tend to take much longer to rip, but the resulting mp3s are flawless. So I am guessing it slows down the disk read speed, or makes several attempts at reading a damaged section.
I am now going back a re-recording several of my disks that i orriginally ripped with dBPowerAmp and re-ripping them with WMP. Which I hate to do because there's MANY things i dislike about WMP - limited formats, less control, have to rip to my hard drive and then Synch at USB 1 speed (WHY?? When my device also works as a USB 2 HD), live with WMP's organization system, grrr.
But this seems to be the only way i can get my less than perfect disks onto my Mp3 player. And I am very disappointed that dBPowerAmp has failed me when it comes to disks with even the slightest of flaws.
Or is there some feature or add-in to dB that I have yet to discover? Maybe in the next release?
