    Use iTunes or Windows Media (depending on your OS), they are less fussy for ripping defective sectors.

    Thanks chaps - itunes works on these (I already ripped my collection once to AAC...) so itunes to WAV, and then convert could be the answer.

    I've also had a couple of PMs regarding sources if I can't get these tracks ripped - many thanks, and I'm probably sorted so thanks again AoS.

    Welcome to the world of file based audio Alex

    First thing is to go to your doctors and get a tranq script
    Single spur balanced Mains. Self built music server with 3 seperate linear PSU, Intel i5, 16 GB RAM no hard drive (various Linux OS). Benchmark Dac2 HGC, single ended XLR interconnects/Belkin cable. Exposure 21RC Pre, Super 18 Power (recap & modified). Modded World Audio HD83 HP amp. Hand built Monitors with external crossovers , Volt 250 bass & ABR, Scanspeak 13M8621 Mid & Scanspeak D2905/9300 Hi. HD595 & Beyer 880 (600 ohm) cans.

    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

    In my experience laptop drives are rubbish! You can get an internal PC drive and a cradle for it and plug it into the USB port of the laptop. This will give you better quality reads and writes in my opinion.

    What I do is use EAC for creating my Flacs. If this fails I use a product called Audiograbber, which usually works OK, to create a WAV of the missing songs and then convert them to Flac after that.

    http://www.audiograbber.org/download.html

    I also use MP3Tag for artwork/tags and if this fails I use Album Art Downloader, which finds artwork from multiple sites.

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/

    Hope this is helpful Alex. Works for me.
    Bernie.
