Data drives also have more capabilities than audio only drives. Offline rather than real-time allows you to spend more time and processing power to make corrections or gather the correct data. For example, tools like IsoBuster can often recover audio data that a CD player can't by applying many different types of error correction or data retrieval. They are not misunderstandings, they are an educated point of view based on available information and my experience of electronics and software. My supposed misunderstanding about CD players needing to use error correction more often than you would say is entirely correct for many new discs - Philips back this up by asking for discs with these errors to remove CD logo. CD Drives in PC and ripping software use different methods to extract the audio data than a CD player, Red Book or not. CDs degrade from scratches and oxidation. An up-front rip when new will stand the test of time. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18991 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
