The bit pattern on data disks is quite different to audio disks. There is far more error correction and parity bits on data disks than on Audio. As you said, the worst that can happen with audio is you loose some samples, hence why they didn't bother with the error correction on audio disks.
I'm pretty sure if you rip 80 minutes of audio off a CD and try to burn the resulting WAV files to a data disk they won't actually fit because of the extra bits used for partity etc. (someone please correct me if i'm wrong, and feel free to link to a more detailed explination :) ) -- funkstar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22679 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
