2014 Bootleg Box Set

JeremyV135

I purchased a 2014 Bootleg Box used about a year ago. I already had a few of the shows so I was in no hurry to rip them all. Finally got around to it and I'm finding that the last couple songs on a lot of the discs are not playable. There are some faint marks on the discs, but overall they look clean. I was just wondering if anyone has heard of this with the 2014's? It's odd that it is always the last 2-4 songs on a disc if it is damaged. Pretty bummed about this.

From what I understand, he bought it used so calling Nugs would be of no use..

Are the discs CD-R or silver pressed? The boxsets since 2013 are all silver pressed discs, but since yours was a second hand one, it can be that an empy box was originally bought and then the individual CD-R versions were put inside.. I find odd such a problem would happen on so many silver discs, while a bad batch of CD-R's can happen..

They are silver pressed.

Are you just having this issue when trying to rip the discs?

Oddly enough, yes. I just spot checked some of the songs that would not rip and they played fine. I've tried multiple drives to rip them as well, so it is not the drive.

What ripping software are you using? EAC (Exact Audio Copy)? You said in the first post there are some faint marks on the disc. That might be why they won't rip. Have you tried another audio ripper? Maybe Nero or Windows Media Player? Those might be able to rip the discs but they won't give you 100% log cue exact rips, where EAC is properly set up right.

If what D has suggested doesn't work for you,
I have the digital files from all the shows from this boxset.
If you'll send me a PM with your mailing address & the shows you need,
I'd be more than happy to send them out to you!!
