EAC is fairly slow, but for badly mangled CDs, you want it to correct all the crappy data. Just start it, and go for a beer. > So now for the silly question.

And if you add the time to make the copy, handle the disks and then rip, I would be amazed if it is actually faster, end to end. The errors on the CD are not going away. Something has to either fix them, or ignore them. Ignoring the errors may work for low rate MP3s, now that you've seen the light and are using FLAC, you don't want to ignore the errors. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
