You may want to try the french subforum here - you may be able to get specific information. > OK, I understand the logic, but I'm still confused by my results.

I'm hoping someone else has better answers, but there are a few possibilities: - extra samples were inserted at the start or end of the file because your drive's "offset" wasn't taken into account by one of the programs. - I've heard about "bit padding" being introduced to accommodate tags. However I thought this would be removed on decoding, so I'm not sure if this will have an effect. - you simply could have gotten a bad rip. It's not likely since you're ripping the same CD with the same drive and just using different software, but you never know. > Perhaps should I retest dbpoweramp with another reader - a real reader, > not a DVD-writer. I wouldn't go by that. A DVD writer contains the same electronic components that a CD-ROM does. In fact, the mechanism is capable of finer resolution since a DVD contains data in a much finer track than a CD. The fact that it's a DVD writer should not affect the results, it's just reading a CD - this is trivial to a drive these days. But yes, some drives are better than others. You can try another one if you want. However if you got an AccurateRip confirmation you know that the drive is capable of ripping with bit-perfect results. Other drives might be faster, better at reading damaged CDs, etc. but your drive is certainly capable of a bit-perfect rip. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60890 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
