(Copy protection has occurred in the past on some titles but once discovered stopped happening, because it always affects the sound. The CD's RedBook standard doesn't permit a copy protect scheme independent of the content like DVD and Blu-Ray do.)

You could try another computer but the issue doesn't seem like an optical drive having trouble reading the disk, at least not as we're normally familiar with.

I guess it's possible that the disc has some sort of manufacturing issue, but I know that's not very common and I'd be surprised if mine was the only disc out there affected. No bad reviews on Amazon related to the quality of the pressing, and this is a CD that has gone platinum, so it's not as though the sample size is so small.
You might Google the title to see if others have had trouble ripping it.
Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try another computer tonight and see if that helps.
