(running MJ Plus 8.0.356 on XP; ripped to MP3 VBR normal/high)
I recently ripped a few dozen CDs and have found serious problems with some tracks.
First: White Noise. Blasts of it, lasting up to 30 seconds long. Seems to be random; different tracks within sequences, different places on tracks.
Second: Clicks. Sounds like a click or a pop on an LP with a scratch. Happens every few seconds. All tracks on the given album are affected.
This isn't happening on all tracks. I've randomly checked one or two tracks from each CD (totaling 500 files) ripped with MJ8 (and that's not all of the MJ8 files. I've got nearly 6,000 files on the computer going back thru MJ7, MusicMatch and Real.) I've found four instances of white noise; seven CDs with clicks.
It will take forever and a freaking day to check them all.
At first I thought it only happend to the the last one or two CDs in a ripping session of a dozen or so, but I found an exception to that.
Also, since this computer has been rock solid since installing XP, I have not shut down everything else when ripping (like I had to do with WinMe); could that be the problem? But why only on some tracks?
Anybody have any idea what could be going on?
Thx
