    No, I guess Musicmatch is just a low quality monster which doesn't check
    c2 error pointers while reading. It will work most of the time, but if you try
    to rip a scratched disc, you probably will get false data without noticing it.

    I don't know GRIP, but perhaps it cares about quality and is therefore a
    bit slower.

    You could try cdda2wav with the paranoia option to see how fast your
    drive can rip without producing garbage.
