cdio does not perform any error correction. It simply asks the drive for the data and accepts what it gets. > (like other tools promotes) ? The reason why I ask is, I want to rip and > don't want to control each disc after ripping (nothing like could another > tool had more or better functions). Or maybe this function is overrated There are tools in ports, notably audio/cdparanoia, that claim to go through great effort to add "extra-robust data verification, synchronization, error handling and scratch reconstruction capability." That was important in the 1990s, but I don't know if it actually makes any sense or even works with modern drives. > Only curios, why is WAVE used to save the tracks and not AIFF (code, > license, portability ... ) ? Because WAV is the most commonly used interchange format for uncompressed audio and, as typically used, is really simple: It just adds a minimal header in front of the raw audio data. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
