Your rips are full of errors unless the drive you're using has C2 (many do), even then-- you've got a few errors.
The only way to get an accurate rip of audio data is to compare it to a known good source. This is why Accurate Rip exists...
Source: I've ripped 4000cds :)
EDIT: This applies only to audio tracks. Data tracks don't suffer from this issue.
- Dylan16807 8y agoIt's worth noting that those problems are entirely caused by drives acting like black boxes, not the CD format itself.
- jacobush 8y agoSort of though. CD Audio is meant to be played back with a minimal buffer before the DAC and to be kept spinning at a very precise speed. It's more like a digital vinyl record than it is a file system, for instance.
- Dylan16807 8y agoThere's enough error detection that if you can actually get access to what bits come off the laser you won't have any major problems making a perfect rip. Your whole-disk alignment might be off by a couple sectors, but that's about it.
- fireattack 8y ago>The only way to get an accurate rip of audio data is to compare it to a known good source That's the only way to confirm you got an accurate rip. It says nothing about how to get the rip in the first place. In my experience, "full of errors" sounds exaggerated. Most of CDs can be easily ripped in 'burst mode' (in EAC) or equivalent in other software and you still get same (exact CRC32) result from AccurateRip DB with no C2 involved (I disabled it), as soon as you set the offset correctly. Disclaimer: I didn't rip 4000 CDs, only hundreds.
