First let me say that I didn't mean to offend in my last email, even if what I said was condescending. Apologies. You are absolutely right, of course. DAE is a tricky thing. It can be done perfectly under optimal circumstances. But there are few people who use a great cd reader, great disks, EAC, and who know how to properly set offsets. It is possible to do DAE perfectly, but most of the time it isn't done perfectly. If using EAC and good disks, but an improper offset, that could mean a microsecond of extra zeroes (enough to make the md5s fail). But it could also mean a bad extraction and missing data. Best bet: archive your shns. Extract carefully and only when necessary. And above all: Make sure your text files reflect any EAC or DAE (Digital Audio Extraction) that is done to the music.
