Thanks for the welcome, Nutul.
Quote:About ripping... if can help, I use "abcde" under Linux, and so far, out of almost 2500 CDs (oldest one maybe '87, newest one yesterday...), only 2 weren't readable; probably because of very bad scratches...
On the CDs that I can't accurately rip, I can usually see when the reflective layer has degraded or even flaked off altogether. I could ignore the errors, but I figure if I'm ripping them for the second time, I might as well do a proper job
. Of the 2000 or so CDs that I have, about 50 are stuffed (I can't get a bit-accurate copy of one or more tracks).
