[paranoia] scsi_read error - guidance required.

I was hoping for a little help in solving a problem.

Linux Debian - Unstable
cdparanoia III release 9.8 (March 23, 2001)
abcde v2.0.3.

1ghz AMD with 512mb RAM
HP 9100+ CD Writer

At the bottom of this email is 3 examples I've taken from rips:

a. The first is a standard song rip that goes very well. 70% of all my
rips look like this one.
b. Hidious and messy and takes about 4 hours to rip the single song. 5%
of all rips are like this.
c. Averagely horrible, taking about an hour to rip a song. 25% look like
this.

The problem is, my cds are perfect quality - zero scratches and I can
rip them perfectly in windows. But in linux I'm having problems as can
be seen in my examples below. Given the huge amount of scsi related spam
I get I naturally decided that was the cause, so I went to the website
and found out that /dev/sg0 should be used. Presently I use /dev/scd0. I
cant use sg0, it cant read the cdrom.

All finished ogg files sound fine when played (except for the 5% that
fail outright) - this is not the problem. What is the problem is the
HUGE amount of spam and the extra time it takes to rip and encode due to
this spam. 25% of all songs I rip takes an HOUR to complete. 5% of all
songs I rip NEVER finish (I give up about the 5 hour mark)

Any ideas?
