I've seen: 1. Discs that look perfect and play fine but refuse to rip cleanly in any drive 2. Discs that look perfect and play fine but will only rip cleanly in *some* drives 3. Discs that look chewed up but read perfectly in a single pass 4. Discs with damage that interfered with normal playback but that ripped cleanly 5. "Bronzed" PDO discs that looked screwed up but ripped just fine 6. And yes, visually-perfect discs where only some tracks can be read in some drives After ripping too-many-thousand CDs I think I've seen it all. I can't make any generalizations about commercially-produced discs, but I can say that those who sprung for Taiyo Yuden and/or Mitsui CD-Rs did not waste their money. I keep a couple of very, very old IDE Teac and Plextor drives around and mount them in a USB adaptor for problem discs. Sometimes even a brand new disc requires hooking one or both of them up to get a clean read. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103058 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
