good analysis clive. Although not a good answer for Sam given this means that many of his CDs need to be reripped. I'm not an EAC user (dbpa for me), but the drive offset issue seems plausible. And the "fill missing offset with silence" sounds dangerous to me on its face (but again, I have no knowledge of the settings). I suppose the only partial good news is that the extra silence is irrelevant for 99% of his rips as they already have silence between tracks. So there is probably only a very small number of rerips needed (live albums and a handful of studio albums).
p.s. Sam, I feel your pain. A number of years ago I ripped thousands of my CDs to high quality mp3. I didn't know enough and I've since been on a project to rerip everything to FLAC. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77561 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
