I think the majority of modern CDROM drives will interpolate on error, which is bad for secure rippers as it makes the job of detecting the errors more difficult (an interpolation is an error). > In this scenario there is absolutely no difference in how error > correction works regardless of whether the drive reading the data is > mounted in a PC chassis or a CD player A CD Player has to deliver audio in real time, generally data is read at x1 speed, in comparison a secure ripper on a PC will read at x15 and retry problem areas, perhaps x100 more than a CD player. > An uncorrectable error is uncorrectable Except a secure ripper would inform you had an error (bin that CD, buy a new one, or repair it), a CD Player would not. > In CD-ROM mode error concealment is disabled as you don't know what the > data represent. The majority of CD drives cache audio, internally they know exactly what the data represents. -- spoon Spoon- www.dbpoweramp.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ spoon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18156 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51311 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
