AudioStation and Enhanced CDs (ECD)
-------------------------------------

If you are using the AudioStation to rip CDs to MP3s and find that the
software hangs at a certain point in the CD where it stops at 99% and stops
responding, you may be trying to rip from an Enhanced CD (ECD). 

Enhanced CDs typically include information such as lyrics, pictures or video
clips that are not audio information. When the AudioStation tries to rip 
this information to an mp3 file, it will appear to stop responding since it
believes that there is an error in the file itself and is trying to find a 
way to correct the error.

In order to circumvent this problem, always rip your Enhanced CDs with the
error correction in the AudioStation set to off.  If you are not sure what
kind of CD you are trying to rip and experience this problem, turning the
error correction off should solve it.

You can turn the error correction off in the AudioStation by clicking 
on Options and clicking on the Recording Tab. Make sure that the Use Error
Correction box is not checked.
