All I can do is get a replacement drive and see if it helps with that one.
Just curious if you had used dBpoweramp ripper with Windows Vista ten or so years ago? ... I don't ever recall having this issue UNLESS the disc was indeed defective i.e., being a used disc heavily scratched
I am not a PC guru but I honestly have a very intense suspicion that during the change windows did from vista to 7 to now 10 something went very AWRY in the creation of audio files but I am not able to confirm these suspicions.
I have found that MOST but not ALL CDs from WB and their affiliates from the late '90s and early 2000s do not want to rip at 3minute window on the Win10 ... (and I have no clue as to why...)
I just ripped a brand new Decemberist's CD from 2011 yesterday that took 7 minutes at a 5x speed ... the CD is only 40minutes long!! it should've taken less than 2 minutes (i am so baffled...)
