I have bought three separate copies of a CD release, and every one fails to rip, with two separate drives. Could it be something about this release itself and not just the discs?

aidalgol: it could be. Small-size runs (unmastered, just burned from a PC or industrially, but not mastered) are more likely to have problems ripping.
2022-01-18 01840, 2022
crism
Especially if the problems show up toward the end of the disc.
Pretty odd that something of that vintage would have trouble ripping. Are They CR-R?

They looked pressed to me.

the fact that it's enhanced is suggestive that might be the issue

what software are you using to rip?

aidalgol: silver look, or slightly bluish?

(It does seem likely mastered, but you know those punks with their DIY…)
2022-01-18 01847, 2022

Could just be a bad master, or you got 3 scratched-up copies. Try polishing them? IDK.
2022-01-18 01831, 2022
aidalgol
crism: Silver, and it has Warner Music Group logo on the centre ring.
2022-01-18 01835, 2022

So under that convention it would be "Lamar, Kendrick" for sure, and "Ace Hood" for sure, but probably "Juelz Santana", "Action Bronson", and I assume "Rick Ross"

Man, I can *not* manage to get a good rip of an Enhanced CD.
@aidalgol, I guess try another ripping software and see what happens. There looks to be a perfect rip of that exact release on a *record scratch* website so it should be possible? Weird though

Really interesting! I reckon the EAC forums (or similar) will give you more useful info

Since people on MB aren't really pro at ripping (as far as I know!)

Most of the big companies use feedback from multiple interviewers to decide who to hire. As long as there are no major red flags, you'll keep getting interviews for the role. Once they have feedback from 4-6 employees, they review and send the packet to a hiring committee who say yay/nay.
2022-01-18 01844, 2022
donalhunt[m]
You're as much in the hands of the interviewers presenting a good case to hire you than anything. If they don't provide a good argument, you aren't getting hired. :(

aidalgol: CDs have a very thin top layer with label stuff etc. it might be possible that the label side is damaged, while the bottom looks clean
2022-01-18 01854, 2022
kepstin
yeah, the actual data on a CD is in the top layer, right under the printed label.
2022-01-18 01822, 2022
SothoTalKer
other than that, if they are indeed copy protected, it should be shown somewhere with a label/sticker or a missing compact disc logo
2022-01-18 01842, 2022
kepstin
(on DVDs the data is in the middle sandwiched between two thin plastic layers, and on blu-ray the data layer is on the bottom of the disc)
2022-01-18 01809, 2022
SothoTalKer
DVDs made the right choice :D
2022-01-18 01809, 2022
kepstin
if you've ever heard of some manufacturer selling a "blu-spec cd", that just means they made the CD using the new harder lacquer material developed for protecting the bottom of blu-ray disks from scratching.
2022-01-18 01827, 2022
kepstin
no audio difference, might be marginally less vulnerable to scratches on the top of the disc :)
huh. interesting, both the plextor drives i have are on that list :) all the audio cds i have rip using normal tools tho.
2022-01-18 01828, 2022

kepstin: the most amusing thing about shm-cd, blu-spec CD etc is they're actually more brittle than normal CDs
2022-01-18 01857, 2022
ev
and the SHM-SACDs have a green label at the top, taking the sharpie-round-disc-rim myth to the extreme
2022-01-18 01833, 2022
kepstin
makes sense, it's a material which is designed to maintain shape of the smaller pits/lands of the bluray format, so harder/less flexible might be the tradeoff for that.
2022-01-18 01824, 2022
ev
well, there's only negatives here because they are more expensive and brittle, with no discernible difference in the data on the thing
2022-01-18 01841, 2022
kepstin
i think i might have 1 or 2 shm-cds, but that's only because the albums in question weren't available on standard cd formats.
usually an image gets created and you can use something like isobuster or a virtual drive to do the ripping - or just manually add a wave header :D

if you use EAC and that works fine for you, no need for DIC

Hi Folks, trying to add an album and it says 'You must enter a title and select an artist for every track.' Titles are added, all Artist entries are light grey other than 1 which has green background
2022-01-18 01841, 2022
G0d
As a new release in to musicbrainz that is
2022-01-18 01807, 2022

G0d: the green background means that you have assigned a valid artist from the database. Is it a various artist release?
