<br>
<br>
thank you very much for your kind answers and hints for my request.<br>
<br>
I agree to all of you that repairing the CDDAs or at least trying to repair would for sure guarantee the best possible<br>
ripping results.<br>
<br>
But my question was more on the software side, not "hardware". I've tried to understand why a rip WITH error correction<br>
etc. hangs, and a playback with "kscd" not, "playing" the scratches, but not disturbing.<br>
<br>
So in fact Monty's hint "you can turn that off" was my solution, "cdparanoia -vZB". Much faster than a pure playback, as<br>
drive's full speed is used. And all files are playable on my MP3 player.<br>
<br>
Remark: All of these CDDAs are audio books, no music, so the result is completely sufficient for me.<br>
Just in case some music enthusiasts in the mailing list might shudder about my quality "expectations" :-)<br>
<br>
So thanks again,<br>
Michael<br>
<br>
