Hi Halycon!

Thanks for your input. I already have Plextools and use it once in a while. The problem with this CD and Plextools are the mastered CD errors that make extraction painfully slow (several hours for 1 track) - the same with EAC - C2 activated BTW.

I'm satisfied with the result already (BTW - I've done ~15 extractions of the last track now and got the same CRC 3 times). There are no audible problems.

I didn't ask for a solution (like "How to get a better/more secure rip of this CD?") but for a (rather technical/theoretical) explanation why I get different CRCs only for 1 track.

I know of the phenomenon of not matching T & C CRCs in properly configured secure mode if a CD has slight scratches, it happened to me once too, but in this track it happens on different positions ... Is it possible that they tried a newer version of CDS copy protection for this last (bonus) track that causes this? How could this work? ... Or am I paranoid and don't notice some slight scratches?
