Clicks - EAC failed?

Reply #25 –
My CD has 7243584 54420CACPRE1 printed on the underside.

I was able to successfully (as far as I can tell - no gap at 9s and no clicks) rip with EAC on my Plextor 40/12/40A in Secure mode with the max speed set to 4x.
Without the max speed set as such I still got "clean" rips, except for that each track had a very small gap at around the 9s mark.

It seems that your pressing is indeed different from any other pressing I know.
Your CD is still protected by Cactus (CDS-200), but the "CACPRE1" part
of the number you gave suggests that it was pressed differently
and probably poses more problems for your drive. Your Plextor should
be able to easily deal with the pressing I have, but yours seems
like a tougher nut to crack.

My apologies to bluewer than blue. It seems that slowing down the rip did indeed work for this disc.

No reason to apologize my friend...the good news is that eventually this cd can be ripped easier than we first thought

Just ripped two CDS200 albums with a Liteon LTD163 DVD drive with no audiable clicks or gaps (discs were 'Norah Jones - Come Away With Me' and 'The Beatles - Let It Be... Naked').  Seems these Liteon drives handle CDS quite well.

i ripped david usher's new cd hallucinations just fine (no clicks glitches or errors) using a mix of Alcohol 120% and foobar
first i did a RAW read of the disc to a hard drive image with alcohol
then i loaded the image in the alcohol virtual drive and just ripped uncompressed with foobar
this method should give me an perfect copy right?
i think the same method will work with EAC

ps my cdrom drive is some cheap oem piece of crap (HL-DT-ST brand)

As perfect as your drive interpolates mastered C2 errors. You might want to rip with two different drives, do a wave substraction of the results and listen closely to positions with different samples.

Is it really THAT difficult in 2003, to build a PC cdrom drive which can interpolate, say, 16 samples at once ? 

Another idea would be to build a CD-ROM, which

- read the original ELF data and send it to the PC's memory (all can be done in software)
- which don't read session structure, TOCs, etc., but also only the raw uninterpreted data stream (all can be done in software)

Modern PCs are able to do this in software at moderate speed.This is more flexible than doing
this in firmware.
