Sean and Pat have posted replies with respect to one use of the term "jitter" - timing inaccuracies. And as Sean says, it is completely irrelevant during CD ripping.
Unfortunately there is another use of the term "jitter", and this refers to the inability of older CDROM drives to accurately position within the data stream of an audio CD. (Quite why the same term was used for this is a mystery to me - the word was already is widespread use within the digital audio community, so it should have been obvious that it would cause confusion). In this scenario, the term "jitter correction" is a strategy used by rippers whereby blocks are read in an overlapped manner, and the software matches up the boundaries in an attempt to compensate for the inaccurate positioning. However, the vast majority of modern CDROM drives do not have this positioning problem, so there is no need for jitter correction. Try ripping with it switched off. If your drive does require it, you'll soon know - there will be obvious clicks and pops in your rips. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45554 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
