I can see the actual speed EAC rips at. Same master CD will error correct and re-read at les than 1X on one drive, while it flies through many times without a single retry on another drive, averaging 12X at the end of the read.Where do you give ITunes the edge? Like I said, the only reason I use it is for crappy computer audio. I don't CARE what that sounds like as long as it's tolerable. I use EAC for the critical duping of crappy master CD pressings to much better sounding 1X written black CD-Rs for my audio setup where I actually listen to the music. I'd never dare to hook up a computer to that system to play back AIFF or whatever files.as for your Ibook - good for you. I just turned a $4600 G3 laptop into a toy for my kids, as it has been teh biggest waste of money in my life, spending the first year more in the shop than in my hands, and after the warranty ran out it pretty much died gradually. I haven't used a Mac since, and I don't miss it.
Anyway - for critical listening, ANY of these things are crap. That's not what I use EAC for. My battery powered DAC on my modded CD transport will kick the shit out of any iBook any day.
So much for today's section in "My Mac is better than your PC" pissing contests.
