I agree. 99% of my discs rip fine with no issues. But I personally like a systematic approach (I simply do them all the same way, noticeable scratches or not). And mostly I very much like the accuraterip info when available as it confirms that at least someone else, on a different computer, with a different copy of the disc, got exactly the same data on their rip as I got on mine.... -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.10) > SbS 7.6.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.1 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
