Think through this a minute. You advise AccurateRip may be in error even though multiple people around the world get identical ripping results. The typical 3 minute song in WAV format contains about 30 million bytes of data. If people all over the world are getting identical checksums from different CDs on a very wide variety of computers, CD drives and software, the odds of those all being identically "wrong" are right up there with having a million monkeys at typewriters turning out the front page of today's New York Times. The only time I ever have trouble with a CD rip is when it has been visibly and significantly damaged. In that case, paranoia about the ripper software is misplaced. The solution is to buy a good copy of the CD. I do most of my ripping on a Linux machine using Sound Juicer as the front end. I has worked very nicely for me for years. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72916 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
