Sorry, but that's just plain wrong. Error correction isn't guessing, it's using additional data on the disk to fix missing data perfectly. Error *concealment* is when a drive has to "make up" data by interpolation. Only damaged disks require concealment, most disks have error correction but are bit perfect after correction. iTunes is a good as EAC on normal disks. EAC may have an advantage on damaged disks, but it too will resort to concealent if it can't read the data. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32212 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
