Error when ripping CD with LG Drive [HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GP65NB60 RF01]. "Exception: Error reading CD: medium error: UNRECOVERED READ ERROR #294

This doesn't happen on every CD, but when I googled the error, it seems this hit previous versions of LG drives, and there was a fix for those drives. I could be wrong, but if I understand the fix, this drive may need to added to the list of drives that trigger it.

I believe it is happening on the 2nd or 3rd track, but I can't be sure because the progress bar does not indicate what track it is currently working on.

Also, there does not seem to be a log saved to the destination folder when the rip fails, so I am not sure how to provide more info.

It would be helpful if you test each mode (it appears you may have only tested 'Auto') and report back any mode that completes without the error.

I tried all 4 choices and get the error each time with this LG drive.

I was able to successfully rip a CD that resulted in these errors on the LG drive if I used a different, older Pioneer drive.

EDIT: Some more information - Out of 6 CDS I tried to rip, 2 kicked that error in the LG drive. Out of the 2 CDs that kicked that error with the LG drive, both were successfully ripped with the pioneer drive, though one was such a bad rip that accurip was unable to recognize and repair most of the tracks. The CD is definitely NOT in great shape.

I hope that's helpful.

It looks like this issue is related to the condition of the CDs (scratches etc.) in combination with the drives. Sometimes a CD can still be read on a different drive. Cleaning/polishing of the affected CDs could help (instructions can be found in the internet).
