iTunes error messages during rip


I purchased iPod mini several days ago and started to "rip" some of my cds to digital using "itunes" software provided by Apple. So far I've done perhaps a dozen cds but two of them have cuts that itunes stubbornly refuses to fully accept. On both the Alicia Keys album and also Springsteens Rising there are several cuts that generate error messages - even when I use the built in "error correction" facility. It this a normal situation? Could it be a problem with the cd reader? itunes? The error message itself is not helpful. Both cds play fine. Thanks, Art

First, always use error correction. It will make ripping a little slower but increase the sound quality...every little "bit" helps. I have never had a cd that iTunes would not read all the way thru..I also suspect a dirty or scratched disc...polish it up. If that doesn't do it, I would look at the cd rom drive.
