General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Your Explanation Raises a Question.....

"CD plants can and do cut glass masters from an audio CD, but any partially corrected or interpolated errors on playback become part of the audio data on the master. By contrast, sending the plant a DDP file set on a CD-R ensures that the audio data on the pressed CD are identical to those in the master file."

If data files stored on a data CD-R are more-immune to errors than audio tracks on an audio CD-R, what do DDP files have over .wav files, .aiff files, lossless-compressed (FLAC) files, or image files, stored as *data* on CD-R? (The .wav files on the CD seen on a computer in the actual .wav data format, as opposed to audio tracks in their ".cda" representation. Unplayable on a CD player.)
