The other thing they fix but don't tell you about I believe is the ability to use programs like Total Recorder to record streams from Winamp - in other words they've foiled it for copyright reasons. I haven't tested this myself, but I read about it a few weeks ago and have not upgraded for this

Hi Daniel. A buffer under run is where your computer can't pass enough data quickly enough to the rewriter to enable the write to continue successfully. The burn therefore fails and you can end up with a coaster. The underrun protection somehow smooths out the data transfer between the computer

No Joel. Once an image is created it's not going to be able to go back and clean up any imperfections. My point is that the creation of the image itself allows the ripper to separate the processes. If you're ripping on the fly you won't get an image file at all because the encoding is being
