When standalone CD player (or your CD-ROM when playing through
soundcard) encounters uncorrectable error on disc, it silences that
part of audio, as it's less hearable that pop or click. However, when
you digitally extract that same place, your ripper won't "turn the
volume down" for the click, but will simply write it to disk.
