I recently started ripping cd's into flac and am not sure how to troubleshoot. =T

So I bought 2 new CD's and ripped both of them. I use secure mode with C2 activated in test and copy mode. The first CD came out 100% track quality for all 14 songs, but the second CD had 2 tracks that came out at 99.8% track quality.

That CD is brand new and has no scratches or any damage to it, so either I'm doing something wrong or it just happens to some CD's where you don't get 100% track quality all of the time.

Any help would be appreciated.

A:


When you get 99.7% and so on, that means that a bad sector was found, but the secure mode has corrected it - from 16 times of grabbing the sector, there were 8 or more identical results. So it only indicates read problems. It is the ratio between the number of minimum reads needed to perform the extraction and the number of reads that were actually performed. 100% will only occur when the CD was extracted without any rereads on errors. ONLY when there are suspicious positions reported, there are really uncorrectable read errors in the resulting audio file.
