No, but corruption is detectable. Meaning that if it corrupts in transmission, the player can be aware of this and can re-request the file and you'll never hear the flawed version. On-disk corruption can happen to any type of file (although I suppose technically smaller FLAC files are less likely to be sitting on a bad sector than larger WAV files). But again, with FLAC it's detectable. If a barely audible file corruption occurs, you can immediately re-rip the FLAC. With the WAV, you may just think that you just now noticed that someone kicks the microphone stand 2 minutes into the track, when actually it's corrupt. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57706 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
