Error correction

Can anyone recommend an error correction programme which I can download and use with itunes? I find itunes own error correction does not always work and downloaded tracks which were fine on the CD, skip once downloaded.

Dell, Windows XP

Are you sure that this is an error correction issue. Some people find that they get skipping problems with iTunes.

It would be a good idea to try playing the problem tracks in another player before deciding that there is a problem with ripping them. You could also try ripping them with other software if iTunes does a bad job.

With the problem CDs I have, I have tried everything. Your last comment on looking for software that I can rip CDs with is what I am looking for a recommendation on. Thanks.

If you don't mind MP3s you could use Windows Media player or Real Player. I used to get pretty good results with Realplayer when I used the MP3 format. Now I stick with AAC I get good results with iTunes.

But there is plenty of ripping software out there, I haven't tried any thing else myself, but I guess others will have recommendations.

I forgot to mention that error correction can itself introduce problems and is best left off unless needed.
