Philips/Sony Red Book standard for digital audio is AIFF, not WAV. There are slight differences in byte order and compression for raw AIFF and WAV files. The settings should be uncompressed 44.1KHz, 16-bit, stereo, PCM for the original recording. Does EAC make an exact copy, or does it convert the raw format before creating a new CD? What quality CD was used for the original? what quality for the copy? The slight differences in format can make a big difference in the final audio quality.
1. According to the EAC documentation, it makes an exact copy of the bits on the CD when creating WAV files. In fact, what EAC does is start by making an exact copy of the bits on the CD, then invoking another program to convert the result to the format you want (FLAC, OGG, MP3, etc.). 2. EAC does not create CDs, AFAIK. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
