I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Are you claiming that most rips submitted to accuraterip have errors? If so, can you tell anything more than that? Because that could simply be due to not having configured things properly. Just as an example, one of my drives doesn't have the correct offset configured in accuraterip, which means that every time I rip a CD on it the very last track has errors - and none of the others do. Since this doesn't ever seem to be audible I haven't bothered to fix it (and I mostly just use the other drive anyway), but it actually increases my confidence the whole system is working. So anyway, every disk I submit that's been ripped with that drive will contain errors, but not for a very interesting or important reason. It might well be that many people haven't configured their drives quite right and something similar is happening. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51311 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
