Try ripping each individual song to HDD first (Try EAC or CDDAE - both available on web) You may have to skip the damaged song, track 9. By the way do you recall what you called me about a year ago when I posted regarding felt pens damaging CD's ? Anyway thats history, so try those tools, and try using a specialty CD pen (eg Stadler) even though you find the tips too thick.
