Finding bad RIPs

[cscuzzo]

I use iTunes to rip my CDs, selecting "use error correction". Because I don't listen to my entire collection very often, it is a surprise when I play something and get drop-outs and clicks/snaps due to scratches or bad reads that the application didn't find significant to report to me when I did the original rip. :-(

 

Is there any software out there that will scan an AIFF file (or whatever), looking for suspicious sections? I'm not looking for something that will catch one bad sample that's been interpolated, but obvious breaks in the waveform that would be audible. I'd love to be able to throw my entire library at such an application, find the suspicious files and fix them. (I've found that car polish can clean up most CDs.)

Hi Clint - I hope someone knows of a program that does this. It would be very cool.
