i am in the process of ripping my library of cds to my HDD and i am using EAC with lame as most people do but i have run in to a huge problem and don't really know what my options are so here it is i am trying to rip some CDs with small scratches and i did one yesterday that took 4hrs while EAC did its error correction and i don't really have that kinda time to be wasting and like i said earlier i just want to know what kinda options i have

When that has happened to me, I chose to buy a used copy from amazon.com or half.com

Or bring the one you have to a record store or something and ask them if they can remove them. That's what I do

to me thats when use of a file sharing software should be legal to download music. ive got a couple cd's that skip on like one or 2 songs that i really dont wanna go out and spend $20 or so on the cd again.

well try one of these..

Hey sometimes it worth trying burst mode. I've had good luck with burst mode skipping past small scratches yet still coping all the music. Sometimes you may get a glitch which can easily be edited out with an audio editor. I do use burst mode as a last resort, I normally do a secure error correcting rip.
