I have seen that some of these disks have the cd tracks and a data section, the data section takes care of making the cd unreadable/unplayable according to the guys that made the cd so that it could not be copied. Others have very short 10 second tracks that try to confuse the cd/dvd readers, but ripping them is the best way to proceed and then remove the offending files and burn the good files to another cd that will not carry all the problems of the original one. What I have done with these kinds of disks, was to rip them $ cdda2wav -vall dev=/dev/sr0 -B The whole disk, then remove the offending tracks, *the ones that do not work*, and reburn the new ones with a normal cd that can play normally. While you do the above, you may select the good tracks so that you can later convert the files to ogg/mp3/flac, etc whichever format better suits your needs.
