If you can't rip cleanly with cdparanoia or cdda2wav due to said
scratches that you can see and hear, then you need to remove
the scratches. Rip the tracks you can cleanly. Then find a cotton
buffing wheel and fine polish and buff them out. Practice first.
Used cd stores or libraries may do it for you.
