    I'd suggest reading the changelogs for your ripping software, and for the
    Linux CD driver, and your soundcard, if the CD is ripped through it. Perhaps
    something has switched from digital ripping to analogue ripping, or vice
    versa. I expect there are a number of other possibilities, too.

    Personally, I've never had any trouble with CDs at all, except back before IDE
    CD standards, when I was just getting started with Linux and misunderstood
    something. You might also want to check if your CD drives have updated
    firmware available, or if they're just flaky, etc. CDRWs have been a bit
    more troublesome, but again, reading the docs helped a lot. Mostly, it just
    works for me.
