So I'm ripping a CD. That has a scratch on it. The drive is making sick clicking noises, and iTunes is spinning a beachball. For an hour. No luck, so I try to quit. No response. I try to force-quit - iTunes has hung the whole machine. I force-restart, and try again. The same thing happens three times.
Crap.

It's not iTunes at fault, it's the disc or your drive.

So shouldn't the thread title be "Crap crap crapetty crap scratches"?
You can buy one of those Disk Doctor things, they fix scratched CDs up real nice...

I've had problems with ripping discs under iTunes which ripped fine in my old-skool Linux setup with cd-paranioa and LAME. But that's going back a few years, the iTunes ripping engine may be better now.
Can you copy the raw audio files into iTunes, then convert them to MP3 after they're in the library?

The drive works fine. The disc is scratched. Now perhaps the problem lies elsewhere, but this should not hang the machine - what happened to an 'unreadable disc' error? Forced restart? That's lame.

To me it sounds like the problem is with the way iTunes reacts to a scratched disk... Or maybe some would consider it to be a good feature to crash the computer if you try to read from a scratched disk? Personally I'd prefer to be able to kill the application that is hanging and be able to get on with my life.

"Help with the audio quality importing cd's" == "don't crash my app when I insert a scratched cd"? 
(not that selecting the option would not be a good idea)

Thanks - I'll try that, but I'm not sure that will help.

I would try ripping with Max, which as a secure "paranoia" ripping option.
