Yes, there's a tiny, tiny chance that you'll hit a case where the checksum doesn't help. Buy it's something, as opposed to lossy formats which, as far as I know, have nothing. And I agree about the ripping...it took me a year and a half! I have onsite and offsite backups and now that I know how to automate the integrity checks, I just need to figure out how often I want to schedule them. I tested with a 40,724 track subset and it still took around 36 hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102391 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
