Try listening to the CD directly without ripping it. Is it still happening? If it is, then the problem would be with the CD rather than the software. Sound Juicer *should* be giving you an exact lossless rip if you're using it to make FLAC. > I found neither mail list for Sound Juicer, but only a Gnome web page > with the Sound Juicer user manual.

Sound Juicer actually uses cdparanoia as its backend, though, so I'm not sure if it would fix whatever problem you seem to be having. I use the cdparanoia command-line version because I feel much more certain that I'll get a perfect rip of the disc, or at least that I'll be made aware of any potential issues with the rip (all the little !'s or +'s or V's in the output---see cdparanoia's man-page). From using it in the past I never felt sound juicer gave me enough information. - -- Aubrey "There are two types of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJRN8JcAAoJEDqgFXa7UFQOMeQH/2BIeDnIBPp0XtiXlUgelB/2 pFlGd6lY5ppR1VXssZy2ZJsd/18DEg3DmjMlwgj9/5qEwexhvdsmVp5KGtlrW9T4 Gdl93rONo7Ork+AF8k0R9IJ6GSDC1oXyFxZSTOJlBGtOFj2k8YOrVm9JjT4eu/Gt Vd7R8wscfcU+T4Se05QhdXTJZaiL0byiqQdoYjQPq4Fo+rAckXR1tELAbA9dfGaO mw3WCg+PhxPwNrF6s2K2hw1FwAzXOIlXO3X0/eI+hzP9KxEI9lCC9iRrM3gqgW01 m3fhhYl3I8L9keidp8UjPfshpcTEPNH4jM0C6MEbnAXfF/bqfBcMqGUkw2g+0CM= =gJOM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
