This garble that is being put on the CD's, is this something that can be detected via a program? Or is it just one more thing to cause me wonder why a new rip sounds bad? I.E. How am I going to get the idiots at the record shop to take back one of these.

Or better yet, if there is a simple program, maybe I can take my laptop to the store and "preview" the disks before buying.

BTW, The current plain brown Rio Car boxes just don't have the panache of the former white and blue Empeg ones. Mind you the packing inside is superior.
