Right...so if you extract with EAC but burn with something else, you must use the combined read/write offset. In that config, you will always have one track (either the first or last) with extra or missing samples, depending on if the combined offset is positive or negative.
For example, with my CDROM/Burner combo, I have a combined offset of -54. I get 54 repeated samples in the first track that I extract...the rest of the tracks are identical to the original. The 54 repeated samples comprise <0.001 seconds, and they occur in the pregap, where you will never hear them anyway. So, the audio is unaffected...but you aren't getting an exact copy. FWIW...Andre W, the developer, has said on the EAC Yahoo group that, due to poor/changing documentation from hardware vendors, he is not going to focus as much on the "burning engine" as he does on the extraction functionality. Take that for what it's worth...I'm sure there are people out there that would rather use 1 app to do everything. Personally, I will use EAC to extract and Fuerio! to burn audio (and Roxio for data/shns). Wherever he goes, the people all complain...

For all of you using CDRWin, Feurio! or Nero, though you would be interested in this quote from the page: "Currently Exact Audio Copy is the only software available that can use the separate write offset correction. Thus if your burner is not supported by EAC for writing you have to use alternate writing software like CDRWin, Feurio! or Nero, and are not able to use the separate read offset correction and write offset correction to make perfect duplicates of CDs." Just thought some of your people would want to know. I do not and have not used any of these alternate CD burning programs, I am just reporting to the list this tidbit I came across.
