No further advice. I belive, that the cd is corrupt, and the cdplayer 
can't guess correct. The computer has the same problem, but you can try 
the -z option to set the number of retries to zero, so the computer only 
tries to read once and then makes a more or less correct guess. If you 
can make that work, please let me know !! I can't make it work myself !!!!
