Thanks for the great website I've been lirking for a while getting info and just deciding what to use to rip my collection. Which was decided using info on this website. So Thanks alot for that.
I'm currently ripping my CD collection using EAC and Lame.
But on some of my disc's I get errors in the reports.
What should I do when I get them? Do I just ignore the errors, just download the CD, or go buy a new CD?
I just want a good quality rip for my listening pleasure.

Thanks for the help Brett

They were read errors.

And yes my disc's are clean and tried a different drive.

Some do have scrathes on them though.

Generally you shouldn't have issues from most read errors, so long as you setup the drive correctly and let EAC test the drive and apply Error Correction when capable.  EAC is the best I know of for ripping from CD -so I'd say "let'r'Rip".  But only do a portion of your collection, then enjoy it and slowly get through the rest.  I got half way through, then decided I wasn't happy with AAC and started over
