About that, I rather prefer flac files as they preserve all data in the music track.

yup, me too - flac is nice. and as described in this article abcde seems nice as well though I've never tried it, it seems to work well with flac (just google and you'll find how to flac with it). anyway loooads of years ago now _dagrab_ was the fastest ripper, Marcello Urbani's original source code beating pretty much everyone else. but it had issues with these 'enhanced' CDs were movie clips or whatever had been placed amongst the audio tracks; all known rippers at the time would just not function in these scenarios. but I patched the original dagrab code for a version that 'survived' these data tracks by skipping them (at the time at least I knew of no other software coping with CDs like this though by now probably others have solved it too) and also in my version the cddb support was dropped as I used the Discogs meta data API instead, included album art fetching and loads of other treats. the source code is here : https://github.com/OlaAronsson/nenRip
