Got two Rod Stewart CDs my other half likes, and I cannot rip them ??
I use dbPoweramp and have ripped over 600 CDs without too many issues over last few months.
Does pass 1 & 2 then " RE-rip 173 frames" or 70 or 90..........................
This happens with every track on both discs ???
Is there any way to get these two discs copied please ?
Thanks
Al

Most likely copy protected. there are numbers of ways around it, search www, but I've used the dBpoweramp "Defective by Design" ripping mode & it worked OK. It was a while back but I think it does not give you either one or maybe both of Secure Rip & Accurate Rip

The often suggested solution is to copy the discs to CD-Rom, in whatever lossless format you prefer, then try ripping those instead.
It's worked for me in the past.

This particular problem sounds as though it is caused by a damaged or very dirty CD, rather than by copy protection of some sort. It,s a problem that I have encountered occasionally, and can sometimes be resolved by thoroughly cleaning the disc.

Thanks very much for all the suggestions - sure it is not dirty disks, have cleaned them, plus the same happens on two different disk drives.
I am sure the problem is something to do with the copyright.
I am currently trying to re-rip using different options in dbPoweramp
Thanks again

Spare yourself the pain, have a bash at copying to CD - Rom, in your choice of lossless format, then ripping that, always works here.
