Nope, RedBook does indeed contain error correction. This is from a HP CDROM technical paper, but there are plenty of other references: "Because the CD-ROM disk has a very high bit density, it has an inherent error rate of [10.sup.-5] to [10.sup.-6] errors per bit. The red book standard, which has become International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 908, specifies the CD audio media format and provides a parity and error correction scheme that reduces the error rate to 10-11 to [10.sup.-12] errors per bit. All CD manufacturers provide this level of error protection." -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49492 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
