Hey, the CD layer of DualDiscs are crap!!!

All three of my dualdiscs ripped with errors at high speed

What the ...???

i didn't realise that until i started playing them - the errors start appearing as stutters and crackle about halfway through each disc.

i guess all the rumours were true after all - the CD layer is not as robust as a normal CD.

To give you an indication, so far I've ripped more than 150GB worth of music compressed using WMA Lossless - so far I have NEVER encountered errors with normal CDs. By coincidence (NOT!) all three DualDiscs that I bought had errors. And this is on a drive that has been praised in reviews as having very good CD audio extraction quality and error correction.

Now I feel cheated - should have just bought the regular CD for all three titles.
