The only real difference between what CD drive you use comes down to Error Reporting (some drives are better than others at saying "oops, I think I got this, but not sure") and longevity (rip a thousand CDs and some drives will end up dying in the process).
Software can correct for the first case most of the time. CD drives are cheap enough that by the time it melts, another drive isn't a big deal. In reality: whatever drive you have is fine. A quality ripper (like EAC) should be able to get the most out of a $10 CDROM drive, and things like WMP usually don't pay attention to the error codes anyway. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36817 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
