Many of my CDs are scrathced. I get to a song and it slows right down/drive makes noise and I can't skip the track to start importing the next one. Only solution is to force an itunes quit and eject CD then start the process over unchecking the song in question. There must be an easier way!

Yep that one is a real pain. I don't know why it doesn't just recognise it's not getting anywhere and stop, saving what it has done. I think usually it does save when you force quit it though, which is lucky given that the slow down tends to pretty much lock up the whole system.

The same thing happens in DVD Player sometimes, usually leading to a forced restart in my experience. I agree that there must be a better way... but I don't think one is implemented yet - something like the old cmd-. for stop would be nice.

Thanks for the quick reply - I don't feel so stupid now! It is a nightmare for people with 200 old scratched CD's to import....I suppose you could turn error correction off however then your ipod would jump during songs like the CD wouldn't it?

What is the best way to clean/repair a very scratched CD?! I am still in amazement that you can't skip a track part way through importing, its madness....

I've heard good things about the Skip Doctor disc resurfacing kits.
