I'm thinking if you can ever get a re-read in EAC under wine, EAC can detect when sectors don't match and you get the full benefits of the program. I would worry if you never get a re-read, then errors could be passing through and EAC can't detect them and won't do anything about them.
I seem to be the only one that appreciates EAC's best feature, logging. What is critical to me is - was the rip good? If not, which tracks had errors? Where were the errors in the track? This allows me to closely review these positions with headphones. Sometimes a single error, where EAC reports "suspicious position" at one place and nothing before or after, is inaudible, but a string of adjacent suspicious positions are usually audible. Grip doesn't produce logs - the only indication if it's having trouble is the length of time of the rip and a "happy face" that indicates ripping status. Once the rip is complete, the happy face is gone... That's why I like RubyRipper, it logs, including suspicious positions. Its error correction method isn't as good as EAC's though, and the conclusions it comes to "Some track(s) needed correction, but could be corrected within the maximum amount of trials" is totally false. If you see a series of suspicious permissions, there will be audible defects just like in EAC. They have NOT been "corrected" but at least they've been logged. Oh BTW RubyRipper does use cdparanoia, there was someone here who asserted it didn't - which got me worried, but it's not true. I've never tried EAC under wine, don't even have wine installed - it seems like a copout to me, but I may relent because there really is no program quite like EAC in Linux. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
