I bought "Cassidy - Split Personality" last year. I decided to rip it to mp3 (VBR) using EAC. After trying days of ripping it normally I decided to use the burst mode which can be found in EAC> DRIVE OPTIONS> EXTRACTION METHOD> BURST MODE. I ripped the cd using this method and I thought I had succeeded. I saved the log as I always do and played back some of the songs. I noticed that the cd cannot be played normally on a pc only on a non pc system (ie hi fi, dvd player or PS2). So i played back some of the files and I noticed something. Every few seconds there is a pause which matches with the "Suspicious position". It's the same for playing it on a PC. Here is my log file. Check it out. I know it's long but please read so you can answer this question.

-------------------------------------------------------p.s. i really need help and have read the thread on "how to handle damaged audio cd's" in the opening page of this forum. This still doesnt help as I am a begginer and havnt a clue what such terms as T.O.C. or TOC mean. Any help is grateful.

Is the disc copy protected?

TOC = Table Of Content(s),gees he tells you what it means on the page.

Its not even a big deal just follow the instructions he gives.

1) disable auto-start.

2) hold the shift button while inserting the CD (to stop anything from loading)

3) Use one of the apps on the list to copy your CD.

He just mentions the TOC so that people know how the DRM works. Every time you put a CD into your CD-ROM drive it reads the TOC and uses it as a guide for the rest of the CD. It the info gatherd from the TOC is garbage then palback will be garbage. Thats why you need to work around the TOC. But you don't have to be concerned about the TOC unless you can't get it to work. In that way the CD is effectively "Damaged."

Yes the cd is copy proteted so that means it is damaged. Also, what programs should I use as i can't see a list on that guide that person made.

There are two types of software.

1) software that will create and image of your disc

- AnyDVD
- CloneCD (next step (ripping) integrated), probably other similar programs


2) software that will rip one track at a time

- Exact Audio Copy (EAC) (ripping integrated), Version 0.95 pre-beta3 and earlier
- Audiograbber (ripping integrated)
- Plextools (only with Plextor drives - ripping integrated)
- Easy CD-DA (ripping integrated) - in some cases this software makes clicks caused by CDS disappear that are there with other software.
- Nero Burning Rom


if your using EAC follow the first two steps then attempt to rip the disc.

If your mp3s still contain errors then its not the TOC that is the problem. The error recovery data scheme (the C1/C2 stuff) has been changed.
