Audio CDs do not have the error-correction of data CDs; they were created to play back fairly accurately, with ways of managing errors in real time playback. There's fairly good explanation at the Exact Audio Copy site (http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/) >And then, if a data CD is declared unreadable, isn't there any specialized >software that allows to salvage at least part of its content? Lots of it. I use IsoBuster (http://www.isobuster.com/), but recovery software is dependent on the firmware in the drive. The firmware interposes itself between software/OS and disk, and limits options. Think of it as having someone else always drive your car while you instruct them from the back seat. :) Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
