EAC - Is it possible to rip a continuous CD to

I have a scratched CD, so EAC is unable to rip some of its tracks in secure mode(I tried, it just takes forever). That means I can't create an image of the CD in Secure mode. I can however create an image in burst mode, but I don't want to lose the quality for the tracks that are still OK, so I would like to rip each track seperately - that way I will rip the OK tracks in secure mode. If I do, will I be able to burn them back afterwards so they all sound perfectly connected?

The whole point is that I want to recover a CD that I really like, that's why I want it to be as perfect as possible.

Thanks!

The basic answer is: Yes.

In my mind, you have two  options.

1. Create a cuesheet for a single image using the menu command (I don't have EAC on this machine, and have the recall of a goldfish, so I can't quote menus).  Rip to separate tracks appending the gaps to the end of the previous track.  Use foobar, or some other tool, to rejoin the track waves into an image.  You can then treat this like all your other images.

2. Create a non-compliant cuesheet and rip to separate tracks appending the gaps to the end of the previous track.  You can burn this non-compliant cuesheet using Burrrn or EAC.

OK, just checked here.  All relevant items are in the "Action" menu.  In both cases make sure "Append Gaps To Previous Tracks (default)" is checked; this detirmines how the waves are created.  To create the cuesheets use "Action" > "Create Cue Sheet".
I'm on a horse.

You can do one rip as an image or just the bad tracks + the surrounding tracks (for full gaps) in burst mode while doing another rip of everything else in secure mode.  Mix and match the secure copies of the good tracks with the burst copies of the bad ones.  I have had to do this myself for a few albums and it was a real pain but it did help a little for those parts that just won't copy in secure mode (or that take hours  ).  Just make sure you use the same settings for the gaps, offsets, etc.  Then join them as Synthetic Soul mentioned.
