I'm having problems with a certain CD. When I turn it into an ogg file using Konqueror audiocd:/ I always get a "scratchy" sound at the beginning of the first track that doesn't disappear for about a minute.
I have experimented a few times with this and I'm reasonably certain that it is a software problem for the following reasons:
1. I have two CD-ROM drives on my PC. The same scratchy sound can be reproduced whenever I rip from one drive or the other. It is highly unlikely that if the CD-ROM drive was the problem, that two drives would exhibit the same problem.
2. When I play the CD, either via KsCD or on my CD player in another room, the track has no scratchy sounds. The CD must be okay since it plays okay on KsCD and on my CD player.
3. I've used KWave to do the ripping instead of Konqueror. Same problem.
4. When I have ripped the track as ogg, mp3 or wav file, the scratchy sound is there.
The problem with this one particular track on one particular CD means that other CDs in my collection may also exhibit the same problem (as yet I have not discovered one yet... but I have a couple of hundred so the chances are it will crop up again)
