I didn't pay any attention to this thread until I tried to rip a CD 
this morning with grip and it more or less became stuck (very very 
very slow - grip displayed X0.0 for speed.) on the last three tracks. 
  It turned out that there was a small scratch on the CD.  It plays 
okay in a CD player.

The gnome-CD wouldn't play the last three tracks.

All other tracks worked okay.

Could it be a possible problem with the CD that is having problems in 
the computer?
