It is my understanding that EAC Test&Copy offers no advantages if you're in Secure Mode. I base this in the info from http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/eac.htm#AboutTestAndCopy that is below. Please correct me if I am mistaken. Randy http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/eac.htm#AboutTestAndCopy About Secure Mode Secure mode is a mode in EAC where every sector on the disc is reread at least twice. If an error is detected, EAC will reread that same sector up to a maximum of 16 times. If two identical results are not achieved, EAC will display an error. At the end of the ripping process EAC will show you where that error occurred and allow you to listen to that part of the track so you can determine whether or not the error is audible. Secure mode is slower than traditional ripping modes because of the error correction it offers. About Test and Copy Test and Copy is a feature in EAC where EAC generates a Test CRC value of an audio track on a CD and then compares that value to a Copy CRC value generated from the extracted audio file. If the Test CRC and Copy CRC match then the rip was accurate. If those values do not match then rip was not accurate. Test and Copy mode is best used with Burst mode. Burst mode is the mode in EAC that uses no error correction during the ripping process. Even without error correction, accurate rips are possible. Test and Copy works best on CDs with minimal or no scratches. Test and Copy will allow you to achieve accurate results without the slower speed of Secure Mode. If you get inaccurate results using Test and Copy you can re-rip those tracks again with Test and Copy to see if accurate results are produced or you can re-rip those tracks using Secure Mode. -- rmariger ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rmariger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1160 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33073 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
