I wish that I had a solution for your delima. Apparently several others
have been looking into this. There are two free/shareware programs that
have surfaced in the last few weeks.

A quick abstract to Leech/2 V1.20 - Please refer to Leech.INF for
details...
 WHAT IS LEECH?
Leech is a reliable, high-quality Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA) to
Wave/Raw grabber for OS/2, featuring advanced de-jittering capabilities.
Leech thus enables you to digitally transfer audio data from an audio CD
directly to your harddrive, without any degrading of the audio signal
due to sampling.  All you need is a CD-ROM drive (and corresponding
device drivers) capable of transferring audio data; a drive/driver that
supports the so-called "READ LONG" IOCTL API call, that is.  (Leech does
not use nor require MMOS2).
So far, Leech is a small (but very versatile) VIO program, but a
separate "bells and whistles" PM edition is in the making!  :-) (A
future you might help shape by your feedback!)
  WHY IS LEECH BETTER THAN ALL THOSE OTHER GRABBERS?
Well, basically because of its de-jittering algorithm.  My inclination
for writing Leech was that my own CD drive jitters quite heavily when
grabbing, and much to my annoyment I found out that - apparently - no
OS/2 grabbers had any form of de-jittering.  Consequently, I had to use
DOS grabbers, which was totally unacceptable to me (even though they ran
just fine under OS/2); I run the /best/ operating system, so I do /not/
want to run lotek applications for a system from the days of yore.  For
this reason Leech was developed; a versatile grabber with very efficient
de-jittering.  The de-jittering is /essential/ to ensure good grabs;
even good drives jit a little bit from time to time!  And perhaps (?)
best of all:  Leech is CardWare!
  CAN I MAKE MPEG-3 FILES WITH LEECH?
Yes, you can; or rather, Leech is one part of what you need.  Besides
the CD to WAV/RAW grabbing done by Leech you need an MPEG Layer III
encoder; the author recommends Fraunhofer's L3Enc/2 for this job.  These
two programs are all you need to start transferring all your CDs to your
harddrive in MP3 format!  (And run out of disk space in a day...  .-)
So...  With Leech you can be sure to make perfect grabs, if it is at all
possible on your drive.  Even in very bad conditions, you can tune
Leech's de-jittering parameters to end up with a perfect grab.  Give
Leech a try - you won't be disappointed!

A new version of SCSI Audio Dump, a tool for grabbing audio tracks from CDs
with SCSI CDROM drives is ready for download at
http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de/~woodst/sadump/sadump.html .
New is this version is support for HP CD writers (HP4020i and compatible).
Since I heard this is actually a Philips drive these may work also. Please
be sure to have read the information at the above URL before asking me
questions about SADUMP.
Have fun with it!

Perhaps these will be of some help to you.
