Brahms Complete on Brilliant - disc skipping issue

[stingo]

If you'd like to hear what I'm talking about, send me a private message with your email (as apparently I can't figure them out, or the forum doesn't support attachments). I've cut out a 6 second snippet where the problem occurs. Maybe you can shed some light on it.

EAC can only detect errors in the way the disc reads. Evidently these errors occured during the pressing and are part of the playback or something rather than the disc surface over the data strip. It couldn't find these because if it looked for this kind of abnormality it would declare every Stockhausen CD to have about 40,000 glitches

That is the mystery.  A CD has some redundancy and even if data was lost it should be possible to detect that data was lost during the read process, even if the data can't be recovered.  I assumed that EAC did that, but maybe that's incorrect.

stingo:  I suggest posting your short snippet on mediafire (a free file sharing service).  For the comparison to be meaningful, you should post in lossless format (wav or flac).

Here's the first one I snipped - the opening seconds of the violin concerto.

Downloaded, and I hear the pop (maybe two).  I'll be investigating when I'm at home and have my disc to use for comparison.

I hear two. Granted it's right at the beginning, but still...

I think I got to the work you mentioned ChamberNut - the Op. Posth. Piano Trio times on the jacket are very different from what's on the disc.

Yes, it is most definitely Schumann's Piano Trio # 2

I'm up to the first miscellaneous piano works disc and am wondering why the Hungarian dances are played so slowly...

Finished disc 45 - just the songs and organ works to go. I notice that the pieces I like the most are ones for instruments for which Brahms had an affinity - piano, cello and clarinet. But the a capella choir discs were a really nice surprise.

Yes, those are beauties.

Well I got the first two replacement discs - 1 and 4, and just listened to 1 which has something going on at 6:02 into the fourth movement of the 1st symphony (disc 1), and 4:04-4:08 into the Academic Overture (disc 4). Just like the ones in the set I have. Now I'm not sure what to do...
