To believe that reading errors may be caused only by large holes in your CD is just as to think that if you don't hear loud pops and clicks your system is jitter free. Just FYI, the "mother" molds CDs stamped from wear rather quickly, and on mass market CDs they are not replaced as quick as you want to ensure print quality as good as it gets. cliveb Wrote: > But in my experience, playing such a CD on an audio CD player and > recording the SPDIF output often gives a better result than letting EAC > "do its magic".
