Data CD's have much stronger error correction, and will never give incorrect data back. Lack of error reporting on audio CDs is more common than you might think. See http://www.daefeatures.co.uk/search.php for a list of drives which don't report C2 errors. Note that most Yamaha and Pioneer drives in this list don't report C2 errors. -- clumsyoik ------------------------------------------------------------------------ clumsyoik's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1997 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16867 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
