Kevin, You mean that when you have flaws on an audio CD, once they get written to an image file on disc, the encoding process is less likely to pick up the flaws, somehow, as it creates the compressed file? appy----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Lloyd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Hi Daniel. It's not that flaws at source can be fixed just because you've unchecked the "on the fly" checkbox. If there are flaws on the CD then they will cause issues whether you rip on the fly or not. The point I'm not making very well is that by breaking down a complex process involving the extraction and conversion of data from a spinning disc, there are less chances of issues arising if the process is instead broken down into a number of discreet steps. Specifically, separating the process of reading the disc to extract all audio information before any conversion to MP3 is done using an encoder that is applying complex algorithms to the data to assess what it thinks can be disregarded and what it thinks needs to be retained to fulfil high quality sound reproduction. Hope that's clearer. Kevin E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
