If EAC says it ripped a track at 99.9% quality, do you try to rip it again until you get 100%?

I've got some CD's that will rip almost all the songs with 100% quality, and the ones that don't usually rip at 99.9%...

So do you guys keep trying until you get 100%, or do you just forget about it and encode them anyway?

If it says "Copied OK" then the 1% was supposedly correctable errors.

You can look at the CD to see if it has dust or grime, and if so clean it, but I've had tracks say 99% for a factory-fresh CD I've just unwrapped.

Some CDs nowadays are bad (dynamic range wise) so it wouldn't matter to me. I think CDs are great otherwise, except for their dynamic range. SACD is by far better than CDs.

99.9 percent is close enough to 100 percent.

.9999999999.........=1 (according to some on this board and many other mathemeticians), so I would think its the same.
