Thread: Problem ripping one CD

    Post Problem ripping one CD

    I'm trying to rip a CD of George Chadwick's String Quartets 4 & 5 on CD from Northeastern company. The ripper goes through two passes then starts on a "re-rip". It shows a number of frames (currently 4902) and counts down slowly from there. Really SLOWLY. I let it run starting this morning and it had only counted down by about 1000 frames after 5 hours. HOURS! I've tried restarting the rip, rebooting the computer and anything else I can think of to no avail. Just today I updated dBpoweramp to the lastest version and that didn't cure the problem.

    The CD plays perfectly fine when I ask Windows to AutoPlay it. This is Windows 11 on a very speedy (capable of gaming) PC.

    I'm not a novice with ripping using dBpoweramp. I've ripped over a 1000 CD's with it and haven't come across this problem before. Granted, I updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 about a month ago, so most of the ripping was on Windows 10. Even if Windows 11 is causing the problem, I still don't know what to do about it.

    Any and all suggestions are welcome!

    Probably a mark in the disc, or even "disc rot" if it an older CD that has not aged well. Sounds unbelievable but it does happen.

    You can try changing the rip mode to burst to see if that helps. Odds are it won't come out with a clean AccurateRip result. There could be audible drop outs, or you may not notice it at all. It really depends on what the unreadable data is.

    I've also ripped thousands of CDs on dbpa. And have had a few just like you describe. Most of these actually ripped fine when I used a different optical drive. All my optical drives are cheap throw-aways. But for some reason, a CD that struggles to be ripped in one drive can work perfectly in another drive. Always good to have 2 or 3 optical drives for ripping, for this reason.

    This is why I still have my first CDRW drive in an external case. Sometimes it can read a CD more modern drives fail to access.

    Hello From France,
    I have the same pb than bassoner, it happens more and more often (50% of CD), and it makes re-rip for long long duration with dozens of thousands frames, before giving an error.
    Doing with burst option fixes badly the pb because the sound is then not good, and there still remains errors.
    Thnks for youy help.
    Window, CD reader external.
