While ripping my collection I have discovered that around 95% of my CDR's have serious errors according to EAC within 5 years. I have seen no such problem with Data disks although the number of Audio CD's is small (around 50). Something to watch is that around 3% of my commercial discs have serious errors mainly due to bronzing over a 15 year period (Out of a sample of about 600) so if you haven't ripped them yet it is worth chacking the old ones. -- MrStan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrStan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1771 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22679 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
