Not at all necessary if you use dBpoweramp or EAC as ripper's They have the Accurate rip function where your rip is compared to others in a datbase file per file . Even with a small number of matches you be pretty sure that you have an bit-perfect rip .
Also most rips are bitperfect anyway . And to take care of that pesky 1% that don't rip well, there are methods used by the better CD rippers besides accu rip . I run ruby ripper on my linux box it for example uses very secure methods and then rip the same track 2 or 3 times and compare result . Wonder if roby is using cdparanoia in the background ? IN GENERAL NOT NECESSARY TO LISTEN AT ALL, BECAUSE IN A REAL WORLD SITUATION MOST RIPS YOU DO ARE BITPERFECT COPIES OF THE CD AND THUS COMPLETELY INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM A RIP DONE WITH ANOTHER CD DRIVE . Just avoid using these fast unsecure methods proposed in many ripper applications, these or for the kidz when they are impatience and wants to listen *now* it's not necessary to rip a CD in 30 seconds ;) -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.
