I have used Whipper on my Arch Linux laptop to rip CDs. On every single CD I have ripped, I keep getting this errors when the CD is scanned, before the rip starts:
Track 1 finished, found 23 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
Track 2 finished, found 183 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
Track 3 finished, found 145 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
Track 4 finished, found 30 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
Track 5 finished, found 25 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
Track 6 finished, found 19 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
Track 7 finished, found 33 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
Track 8 finished, found 111 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
Track 9 finished, found 36 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
Track 10 finished, found 35 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
Track 11 finished, found 122 Q sub-channels with CRC errors
The CDs rip just fine and I get a 100% Rip Quality after every track. Does anyone know what these CRC errors are?
I tried using Google and most of the links I found just said your CD drive is having difficulty reading the disc. But I'm getting these on every CD I have tried to rip so far.
Could it be the CD drive itself. I'm using an external bus powered USB 3 LG DVD drive, that looks like a laptop drive put into an external enclosure.
So, my two big questions are:
- Do I need to worry about these errors, if the rip quality of every track is 100%?
- Is there a better CD drive I can use to rip CDs? Would something internal the PC work better than an external bus powered drive?
