I've recently been given an iPod Classic and been happily ripping CDs on my Dell laptop and transferring them to the iPod. I notice that several tracks have what sounds like a scratch, both on the laptop and the iPod. Since the glitch is already present on the laptop, I presume that's where the problem lies.
I've deleted the tracks in question and then reimported them, but the glitches remain (I think they are at exactly the same point in the track in each case). This has only happened (so far) with 2 CDs, both of which play absolutely perfectly on the Denon CD82 in my actual hifi system. Is this therefore something to do with poor error correction on the laptop (XPS M1530) (even though I can't see any obvious physical defects on either CD), or perhaps its DVD drive has a fault?
Other than asking Dell for a new DVD drive under warranty, the only other possible remedy I can think of immediately is to use the digital output from the CD82 and input the signal into iTunes on the laptop. Can anyone tell me whether this is feasible, and if so how I might go about it?
