![]() ![]() Hey Anthony - thanks! I think I gave a brief thought to error correction when I was looking at some of these scratched up CDs, but now with your much more informed information I think you might be interested to know I had the error correction on the whole time! I can't tell you why I had it on, but I tried it with it off and the same thing happened. I can PLAY these troublesome tracks from the CD and not hear any obvious clicks or skips, but I think playing and reading into memory are two different animals in terms of how the computer can handle errors - no? Still, it would be nice if iTunes could have told me it was having trouble reading the file! Just freezing is not the best way to communicate with the old user! ![]() ![]() So, thanks to both of you, I think I have this rather silly situation figured out (Anthony's mentioning scratches got me thinking). I'm going to try another external CD drive I have around here and/or my handy CD resurfacing kit too. I actually think I have scratched up CDs and just had the luck of trying a few scratched disks in a row. Thanks Anthony and Eldio - you gave me this advice on AIFF on another thread, but I thought WAV was also lossless - wait, you said that! Any way, I tried exactly what you suggested on my own and guess what - the tracks that are freezing up in iTunes are also freezing up via this method. ![]()
