I downloaded and ran this program on four of my CDs and got errors on three, including one that I burnt a couple days ago on what is supposed to be high quality media (Maxell CD-R pro). The fourth locked up the program and now I can't open the CD drive until I reboot the machine.

I then tried copying all the files from the CD by dragging the folder icons into a temp folder on my hard drive and no errors reported.

So maybe the test is to just copy files. But it does raise the question whether the program is finding real errors and the CD will deteriorate to being unreadable or whether the program is just too sensitive and reporting all errors, not just inrecoverable errors.

Thanks for the link
