All true, but if it only worked if you registered your CD and so proved had a legitimate rip, it could work quite nicely. It would be a legitimate way for you to copy your CD to a new master or keep it as a data file for the SB. Instead of having to download megabytes of lossless audio data, all you had to do was buy the CD and then compare track checksums with an online master via an application like EAC. If they were different, you would download the data to fix any manufacturing errors in your copy, run a fix-up program and then burn it back to CD-ROM for a high quality home master. If you already own the CDs and had ripped them and want studio quality masters to replace the damaged versions, then an overnight fixup would be great. It would need record company buy-in, but audiophiles would go for it I'm sure - upgrade all your CDs/rips to master quality. It would howvere be superb as an open source project and so get people adding in their CD data so that together we had a fix database for our CDs to get them all up to the best possible quality. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18991 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
