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

My guess would be that the transport mechanism in your computer is malfunctioning, or simply ultra-sensitive.

First I would try giving the CDs a thorough cleaning, even if they look ok. If the transport is exteremely sensitive, this might help.

If that doesn't do the trick, you might need to get a tech guy to look at the transport.

Does the drive make any strange sounds when it tries to burn those two CDs?
