I get this error for all the CDs I have tried (6 and counting...) I have cleaned them, but still this happens...

MakeMKV v1.17.8 darwin(arm64-release) started

MakeMKV doesn't rip audio CDs. Try something like Exact Audio Copy.

[chrisb42]

Of course, Exact Audio Copy doesn't exist for macOS. However, dBpoweramp does and contains the AccurateRip feature that is also used in Exact Audio Copy. I've personally been using it for years to rip all my CDs and can recommend it. It's not a free app, however.

Hi – I dicovered that iTunes rip. No problemo.
