I wonder what cdck would show.  It tests not only ability to read the
files, but counts any otherwise silent errors as well.  It also
automates the reading every file process.

OK. There seems to be a "cdck" package in Debian Etch. If I get ambitious and test (some of) the other CD-Rs in that drawer, I'll use cdck for the tests. Don't hold your breath for results, but if I do it, I'll post anything I find here.
