Not quite. Data may be written correctly, but the means of recovery are not quite so simple as with computer data. Errors have to be recovered. A CD is written as a stream, without the level of sync or file-correction information that data files have. It has enough error correction to make partial audio reconstruction possible even if it's incomplete. Errors are covered or muted. >Do you know about EAC, Exact Audio Copy?
