The $20 CD drive has the luxury of being able to use AccurateRip, so that it can compare what it ripped to what others round the world ripped for that same CD. That way with the CD drive, as long as the CD is in the AccurateRip database, you can be sure that it has ripped the CD 100% accurately.
The CD players don't have that luxury, you can never know how close to 100% accuracy they are getting (or at least not without using hardware/software to sample the digital output of a range of players). One thing that you can be sure of is that they won't be managing to recover 100% of the data on every track they play. To know that you are ripping 100% accurately, at the moment that means using EAC + AccurateRip or dBPowerAmp. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?
