Hi.  I?m a newbie who?s downloaded a ton of music in the last month and 
transferred it to CD.  I knew the next step was to begin trading, so I 
needed to get the music back off the CDs.  So I have just begun seeing what 
it?s like to use EAC.

-I had some WAV files on my hard drive
-I wrote them to CD
-I used EAC to extract the files
-I compared the first version of the WAV to
   the copy extracted by EAC using EAC?s
   ?compare WAVs? feature.  I got this:

Track 1 of the CD:
Error type: 135 repeated samples (on the 2nd gen file)

Other tracks of the CD:
Error type: 135 missing samples (on the 1st gen file)

I poked around the EAC documentation, which I didn?t think was particularly 
easy to access.  Only half-grasping what I was doing, I changed the ?Read 
sample offset correction value? to 135.  Then I re-extracted the files from 
CD.  This time the ?compare WAV? reported no errors.

So my questions:

How important is this?

If it?s important, do most people who trade live music know about this?  It 
feels like I had to dig a bit to figure it out.  Should it be mentioned in 
the Etree FAQ?

Thanks
....and sorry if this question pops up every 2 weeks.
