Problems Copying a CD
Anyone have any experience with this? My parents are kind of paranoid because my brother's car got broken into, and they want copies of all their CDs, to use the copies and keep the originals at home. Since they're computer illiterate, I get the joy of making the copies.
Using Roxio Disc Copier, it's working fine...except for one disc in a multi-disc set. It will get about 80% of the way through Caching the data, then is has an error. The disc has some minor damage to it, but nothing major, and it works well in a CD player. Any ideas on how to clean the disc, or to get the program to finished caching the data? I've tried to run it through 3 different times, and it's not working.

Try copying to an image file then burning the image? Just a thought.

Exact Audio Copy
if EAC can't rip it, nothing can. specializes in scratched or damaged disks, although it may take some time to rip it. honestlty, if it was me, I'd just try to download that disc from a p2p site.

I've had problems with other hardware interfering with the DVD burner from time to time where a perfectly working drive will just start burning coasters. But soon as I uninstall the offending drive the burner goes back to working as normal. I've had problems with both Zip drives and also multi-readers (7-in-one drives, etc).

Incidentally, I've been ripping some of my CDs using EAC in the last few days, and even on occasions when I don't get a CRC match, I'm not noticing any defects in the playback.

Dola, you may need to install an ASPI layer to get EAC to work right. I had to do it on one of my computers but not the other. They have a link to one on their website, I believe.

LAME.EXE is the LAME MP3 encoder. As far as I know, it does an excellent job of encoding, and it's freeware (although there are possible patent issues).

If you don't want MP3's rip to a .wav and burn the wavs to CD. If you want mp3's get LAME.
Lame+EAC=best mp3's. Last edited by jeff061 : 06-30-2005 at 10:43 AM. |
