But something that Hybrid8 began his statment with is that he was using a Plextor drive for his rips. The Plextor drives are known for being reliable rippers regardless of what software you use. They have additional circuitry that can do block-accurate addressing on audio CDs, making the error-correction routines in EAC unnecessary.



No, I noticed that he was using a plextor. I also noted that I have a plextor. They are VERY GOOD.

But perhaps mine are faulty. Because I DO have issues with some discs on plextors when not using a secured rip.

Maybe it's me. But given the speed of todays drives, I'd rather spend an extra minute or two and be sure.

At the same time, I do NOT know that everyone else here has a plextor, and as such, I think it only fair to mention the alternatives.

From that standpoint, I'll still stick with my recommendation of EAC over audiograbber on Windows.
