CD won't play

[richidoo]

When I have a track that neither EAC nor dbPoweramp will rip, I try Windows Media Player or MusicMatch player or something less picky. Often times it will accept the errors and make a track. Usually I can't hear any glitch. I think they must have a routine that makes up new bits where there are errors. 

I have had this happen on brand new CDs. They play on a CDP, but they won't rip bit perfect.

Well, I've got EAC imaging the CD to my HD right now. It's moving pretty slowly, there is a bar lit up next to the words 'Error Correction', and down in the 'Status Box'(?) it says there's a 'Timing Error'. But it's still reading so maybe it'll fix it. We'll see...

Well, it's still going. I'm going to bed and I'll see what's there in the morning...

Well, at least it hasn't crashed yet.....

Well, went down to the PC this morning, EAC reported a successful rip that took 5.37 hours. I made a quick burn of the rip... and... timing errors all over the place. Guess I'm going to have to send this back. Thanks for all the suggestions though!

Just curious, did you try to play the ripped file directly on the computer with Windows Media player or a similar software package?

No, I didn't have time for that this morning.
I'm not really a morning person and had to get to work
I'll give that a shot when I get home tonight though.
