Make sure you disable autorun on the laptop just in case there's strange
hidden multimedia content (thanks $ony) keeping it from playing. You'll
have to edit the registry, I'd search for "_________(your OS)+
autorun".
I wouldn't worry too much about it, as most modern drives can provide a
bit accurate RIP with EAC {the first and last couple hundred samples
notwithstanding}. Some compuphile names are LG, BenQ, LiteOn (sony),
and ebay Plextors. Speed, copy protection defeatability, and under/over
read/writeability are all you could gain in a search of esoteric brands.
EAC needs to sync up with whatever drive you get. Pay special attention
to options for caching and c2 correction. 90% of the easy setup
tutorials give the wrong advice, but you need to check the boxes for
supported features so EAC can defeat those features of your drive. You
can also create an offset test disc, and find the best gap detection
method. Install Accurate Rip to compare your results with the rest of
the world. Anyway, my generic drive works for me...
I think the previous poster is right, in that the ONLY drive that ever
supported under reading is the Plextor. That means if your cd 'happens'
to have Track 1 index0 info it can retrieve it. Maybe 1 in 100 cd's have
enough info (actual hidden track) there to worry about.
What's up with hiding tracks, anyway?
