Ripping old CDs

Dear grippers,

Grip 3.3.1 on Ubuntu 8. I am having problems in ripping a number of my 
older CDs (pre-1990) that are still in excellent condition. In some 
cases the CD reader audibly seeks tracks indefinitely until I force a 
hard-suspend onto Grip. On other occasions the CD reader runs smoothly, 
the reading speed indicator on the rip page remains at 0 and nothing 
happens. Is this an understood problem at all? I know too little about 
Xine and lame to do backtracking. CD plays ok, so its probably not the 
hardware.

Kind regards,
Willem
