RE: [Zappa-List] Re: Ripping?

Well I’m convinced that EAC is superior at reading the disc. It’s the conversion from CDDA file to wav file that I would prefer to avoid. Other software is capable of sort of storing CDDA on the hard drive in the form of a disc image. Burnatonce for one and it can be set to perform additional read checks when reading the disc. I don’t think it’s comparable to EAC’s secure mode though. EAC does have the ability to create a wav image and a cue sheet that can be used to make an exact copy. The digital files are still converted to wav and then back again though. I’ve never personally experienced any of the clicks and pops doing a direct disc copy with Roxio ether but I do still use EAC just to be sure. Still I think that most of the time a direct disc copy comes out fine. If your disc is damaged at all then EAC is the only way to go.   Jim L From: Zappa-List@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Zappa-List@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of neil_hawkins2003 Sent: Friday, December 23, 2005 4:17 PM To: Zappa-List@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Zappa-List] Re: Ripping?   Great explanation Jim and thanks. One question on the following sentence, should that read "EAC is inferior"?
