That's just not true, as anyone can verify for themselves: First, you can rip the same disk twice and verify that both copies are identical. Second, you can buy two copies of the same disk and/or burn a CD-R copy of one, rip both, and verify that the resulting files are identical. Third (easiest and most convincing) - rip a copy of a CD and use accurip to compare it to thousands of other copies made by other accurip users on the internet. If you made a good copy the checksum will tell you that your copy is identical - -every single one of those billions of bits is identical - - to those other rips. For a normal disk there is precisely zero data loss at any stage of the CD creation, ripping, or storing cycle, full stop. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50690 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
