Doesn't EAC do something like this? EAC does indeed perform repeated attempts to read bad sectors of CDs, and usually (but not always) succeeds in extracting the data. However, EAC does not stream the resulting audio. Of course, if you rip with EAC and stream with SB3 or even softsqueeze, and you've got the same functionality. No need to pay $10K.
By the way, I rip everything with EAC, and from what I can tell, about 10% to 20% of my discs require EAC to make multiple reads on some areas. Most discs just read perfectly the first time. All the discs are subsequently compared by AccurateRip to known rips of the same disc, and only a handful of tracks have ever come up as being inaccurate rips, even out of those that required multiple reads. -- TiredLegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TiredLegs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25773 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
