In Reply to: RE: On ripping scratched CDs posted by Postal Grunt on April 05, 2016 at 20:29:21
I recommend using EAC to rip. I have one particularly badly scratched CD that had been successfully ripped by iTunes (in 'secure' mode) but played badly. When I used EAC it tried, and tried, and tried but could not successfully rip some tracks. So, IMO, if EAC can't rip it, the CD is beyond help.

And yes a few CDs will never finish as they are just too damaged.
I love EAC.
I also love EAC. I originally downloaded it because it was free, but after learning how to use it, it made ripping my whole collection as easy and convenient as possible, especially by inserting song titles automatically from the online free database.

I used to use EAC, but I sprung for dBpoweramp. I prefer to use it because it is easier to setup, has a nicer user interface, and comes with access to a large number of Internet databases of metadata. Also, the package includes format converters, tag editor, etc... Well worth the price.

Tagging is automatic, too.

Yeah, I think I killed a cheap drive (but a reliable ripper) on a poor disc with EAC. It's all about the EAC setup, which I had modified to try to rip this particular disc. Don't do that!
I trust EAC. A perfect rip is a perfect rip. dbpoweramp doesn't do it "perfecter", it's fine for other stuff, I use it too.
