They all have errors, but it's whether they can be corrected or not is the issue. iTunes works for me, the only time I ever found an problem, I cleaned the disk and re-ripped it and all was fine. I'm a Mac user and I do run Parallels, so I could use these other rippers, but to be honest I haven't found the need, because when I did trial them they were painfully slow and gave no discernible improvement. The only reason I posted was because it was said that if you care about audio, you shouldn't use iTunes, which is misleading. It only matters if you have disks that error correction can't fix and then a more industrial strength solution is needed. I haven't needed it. I will admit that EAC and the ilk do appeal to the geeky audiophile part of me, but the busy pragmatic side makes me use iTunes because it is a far more pleasant experience. I'd rather be listening than ripping. -- 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
