I'm pretty sure I'm safe... the CD I'm testing with at the moment is 
from 1990. :) It happened with another old CD too, but I thought it was 
due to some scratches on that one so I tried another.

I prefer Ogg Vorbis, and I'd rather not have to scour the internet for 
songs that I already have the CDs for and could just rip/encode myself 
(in better-quality than what I'd find too).
