No. With 99% liklihood, your ripper is fucking up. Getting bits
cleanly off a CDROM drive is a remarkably hard problem on most
drives... one rippers tend not to bother solving which seems to be
'good enough' for most consumer grade (read: users want pretty, not
reliable) software. There's a *reason* I spent two years writing
cdparanoia :-)
