    My copy of this still seems to play (and rip) OK. But are there any other BBC MM discs made by PDO that could be going the same way?
    I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

      Now for the bad news: Sorry to say my eyes began to glaze over the minute I started on Bryn's instructions. If either you or Bryn would like to pm me a postal address I'll put the CD in the post (after Xmas most likely).
      It arrived this morning, and has been ripped sucessfully! But it is, I'm afraid, on the way out, I think we got to it just in time. I'll send you the links so you can down load the ripped files, that way when the disc does fail, you'll have a back-up.

      Once again, thank you for you kindness, I'll have it back in the post to you as soon as the post offices open next week.

      ps,

      Apologies to johnb for the thread hi-jack.

        Glad to hear it! Actually, not much point in returning it. Why not just bin it!

          If you're sure, I'l hang on to it, in case you change your mind!

          Can your computer play .flac files?

            Yep - you hang on to it!

            Computer will probably say "No", i.e. haven't got a clue. But please don't worry!

              If you have problems playing them, this is the solution.



              It will play anything!

                Sorry to be a bit of a party pooper but this talk, in an open forum, of ripping and distributing files could be awkward for FF and Mark as it is almost certainly illegal (whether or not the recipients have an unplayable copy of the same CD).
