    For me, no, the CD's are fine, no scratches...

    I just tried 'grip' and could not get it to see a CD in the drive - it
    would not even eject the draw ?

What my posting is trying to say is - is there a problem in 'readcd' ?
I believe this is what x-cd-roast is using to RIP the CD when not in
paranoia mode.
When it uses 'cdparanoia', all is well (but slower than I would expect).
John.
