Sound Juicer is not very robust.

Asked by John Winterton

The title kind of says it all. When ripping a CD that is not in pristine condition, it hangs in some sort of loop if it gets a hiccup in the track its working on. This generally scrags the whole system and a reboot is necessary after killing Sound Juicer. The symptom of the hang is that the time remaining is being updated with ascending and unreasonable amounts of time.

When this kind of thing happens, the program should put up an error dialogue asking whether to skip the track or quit. Instead, the program seems to have a buffer overflow of some kind and write all over everything in memory. The program is truly not ready for distribution in this condition. It most certainly should not be the default when an audio CD is inserted. At one point I had to actually power my system off in order to get control.

UBUNTU 10.4 with current updates.

If I had a dump or something to go with this, I would log a bug. But I really don't have what I consider to be enough to go on. Most of this is my personal feelings as a long time software professional from observing the behaviour of the program.
