Try listening to the CD directly without ripping it. Is it still
happening? If it is, then the problem would be with the CD rather than
the software. Sound Juicer *should* be giving you an exact lossless rip
if you're using it to make FLAC.

Personally I've always used cdparanoia (which is for the console) and
the command-line 'flac' utility afterward for ripping CDs, and then
using exfalso for tagging... which is very roundabout and obnoxious,
especially if you have as many discs as are in an audiobook. Sound
Juicer actually uses cdparanoia as its backend, though, so I'm not sure
if it would fix whatever problem you seem to be having.
I use the cdparanoia command-line version because I feel much more
certain that I'll get a perfect rip of the disc, or at least that I'll
be made aware of any potential issues with the rip (all the little !'s
or +'s or V's in the output---see cdparanoia's man-page). From using it
in the past I never felt sound juicer gave me enough information.
