Gawd I hate following up to my own posts, especially when it makes me look like an idiot!
I ripped the CD to my desktop since my studio computer has a bad stick of ram an I haven't replaced it yet (yes, lazy - replacement is only about 3 meters away!). But can anyone clear up whether there is a different standard for CD audio around the world? Right now I'm leaning towards no, but it wouldn't hurt to be sure! Thanks and sorry for the false alarm.
