I also back up my .wav vinyl restorations and CD edits as data files on DVD-Rs. If I need to get those files back on the hard drive, they can simply be copied from the DVD-R without going through a second ripping-to-.wav process.

I noticed about three years after I'd gotten my first CD-R burner in 1996 that I was beginning to have playback problems on my Sony CD-R discs. The problem was with the burner. The solution was to put the problem CD-Rs in the freezer for about half and hour, let them defog, then rip them to a new .wav file and re-archive them with a new burner.

I've tried this technique, too, and I figured out why it works. The problem CD-Rs I encountered, especially Sony, had a problem where the plastic wasn't flat (the bow in the center I mentioned above). The bow (or warp) became worse as the plastic warmed up. Cooling them off made the plastic slightly flatten out. I noticed that on these problem CD-Rs, it was mainly the last half of the disc that had the major problems. This, of course, was because as the laser got toward the outer part, it wasn't hitting the surface straight on any longer (because of the warp).

I am now taking all my CDs and putting them on an external hard drive.

I've noticed that I'm having problems ripping the last track on several of the CDs that I've burned over the years. As it is ripping the last track, it just stops in the middle.

These were CD-Rs that were burnt between 1998-2000 (back when I was spending $8-$10 per disc - then finally going down to $4, which I thought was a bargain) and are TDK discs.   

Does anyone know why this is happening?

I've never had a problem with those really old TDK discs (I think they had a dark green bottom), but you can tell if it's warped by setting it playing side up on a flat surface. If the center hole is not also laying flat, that could be why the laser isn't reading the last tracks. You might also try playing the last track in a regular CD player. Warped discs generally won't play in those players either.
