Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2009 8:26 amJust pulled out my cd of Into The Gap for the first time in over a year and noticed severe surface noise. Now I gotta go out and buy it again.
Bastards!

Have you tried ripping it with Exact Audio Copy or some other secure ripper (although downloading it, as someone mentioned, may be faster)?
