How many other rippers account for those so the cues (tracks) are 100% aligned with the sample stream? Regardless if it's a brand new CD you're extracting or not, unless you're lucky enough to have a drive that doesn't need offset correcting (yeah, right!) then it will not be perfect.
IMHO it's either lossless or it's lossy, it's either perfect or it isn't. Surely the one thing worse than having something in lossy format is thinking you have it in lossless when it in fact isn't? -- Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=213 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18200 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
