Thank you clive. I was thinking of the cache, which you check to defeat. The cache has to be overridden to make sure the results of the re-read are meaningful (unless your drive doesn't cache audio data, but it won't hurt either way). Leaving the c2 box UNCHECKED is how you override the drive's feature, so if you have a plextor you want to check the c2 box. This explains faster ripping with the box checked and a c2 capable drive. Sorry about that. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32212 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
