I’ve ripped the audio track but the .wav file is messed up. It seems jittery and has pops or skips. Why?
It could be a number of things. Check your CD. You need a good clean source to start with. If the CD is in good shape, it may be jitter or it may be caused by trying to rip faster than your system is going to be able to or it may be a software incompatibility. Try slowing the process down if you can. Try a different piece of software if you continue to have problems. Read the Help file and see if your software specifically addresses things like jitter and offset (EAC, for instance, does). Spending some time reading the help file can solve a world of difficulties. If you aren’t getting good wav rips though, you will never get good MP3s out of them. Keep trying until you find the problem and resolve it.
