Sorry for being rather off-topic, but this strikes me as the kind of
question that someone on this like might be able to answer. Responses
should be sent off-list to avoid further annoyance to the list at large. :)
I'm having problems ripping some of my CDs to MP3s on the computer that my
office recently provided me with for working at home. Basically, no matter
what software I use (and I've tried about 5 or 6 different ones), I
continue to get lost sync errors in the last second or so of every single
track. I've tried changing the sync settings to every possible value in all
of the software I've tried, but no dice.
Most of the time, this doesn't make much difference, since that last second
is usually silence. But on discs which are continuous sound from track to
track, it causes a weird skipping or lagging at the end of the track.
The computer I'm using is running Windows NT 4.0 (not my choice - like I
said, it's been provided by my office), and I'm not sure what the specs are
for the CD-ROM drive, but the machine itself is a very recent Dell model,
so I don't see how there would be any speed issues between the CD and
harddrive (which I've heard can cause these kind of problems). It's
definately happening as the track is being read from the disc and not when
the MP3 is being encoded, 'cause I tried ripping to a WAV file and the same
problem occured.
So - has anyone else come up against this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?
