Now I understand much better. I am relieved that I had C2 reporting unchecked and the cache box checked, based on mindlessly following advice given in a link on the WIKI. However, I dug deeper at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=30959&st=0 and found one suboptimal setting--I did not check another box concerning offsets (Overread into lead-in and lead-out data), which caused Accurate Rip not to work and has some other consequences I don't understand but appear to be minor. -- 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
