Hi Mark. Point taken, and don't worry I'm very happy to be educated by anyone who knows something I don't ;-)
I appreciate that drives may be made more cheaply today than they once were but it seems odd considering that the advance in recording media (dual layer DVD etc.) and recording speeds must require an improved level of accuracy from the drive. I appreciate that this may be error prevention rather than error correction but the speed of ripping with EAC would probably drive me mad, not to mention cause a divorce - my wife thinks I'm having a torrid affair with my PC as it is.... Given that very few of my CDs are in anything less than pristine condition (i.e. only those other people have got their mitts on) I'm not too concerned at not using EAC for the extraction process. Having said that it would be nice to EAC the knackered discs just to get the best out of them but of course I've gone down the Apple Lossless road and as we all know only Apple know the encoding formular. I've just had a thought, is there any lossless format which iTunes can convert to Apple Lossless? I could use EAC to produce the initial rip and then import/convert it using iTunes if there is.... -- hifisteve ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hifisteve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22679 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
