Hello, Firstly, if this is in the wrong forum area, please redirect. Thanks. Here's a weird one. I bought American Idiot over the holidays & want to rip to the music partition on my HTPC. I cannot rip the final two tracks: 12 & 13. I have tried on three separate (HT)PCs. Have researched & there's no evidence to suggest it is anything to do with copywrite. Besides, it would apply to ALL tracks. Here's what I have tried so far: -rip using CDex 170b2 -my default CD ripper -rip EAC 0.095b4 -rip using WMP11 -copy to CD-RW on-the-fly between BD drive & DVD writer Thought the issue was the CD so I replaced it: same deal. With WMP the rips slowed from about track 8 until I got errors on the final two ones. Any brainy ideas anyone? Please???? |

| Here's some further info. First one is just after the sync error presents itself. You will notice the error correction has kicked in: ![]() Next, we have it sfter some hours. I left it running overnight: ![]() Finally, we are getting there. I still left it running when at golf all day: ![]() Notice the hours: yawn. After completion, I tried playback of generated *.wav file. It does not play fully. Also retried ripping track 13-whatsername: successfully this time using EAC with no errors but timing problem displayed in status box. It shows around correct storage size for wavefile but zero playback. Opened in wave editor & shows absolute flat lines on both channels. Can supply images if necessary. |
| Hmm...I ripped mine to MP3 ages ago...probably using Nero as I tend to, and it worked fine. Maybe give another program a try and see if it works. Edit: You have, but maybe give ImgBurn a go...make an image then burn that

| Cheers for response. Tried Nero: no go; hung. Am trying to burn image with Imgburn. Have gotten the following: ![]() What does 'No Seek Complete' in relation to my issue? I gave up after 7 retries. Thanks. |
| Do you have another drive you can try? It would seem there is something wrong with your drive.
