From the problems you describe, then it's not surprising they sound worse. You should get zero (or very near zero) errors when copying, and there should be no cracks and pops at all.
Follow Ups:
Most tracks on most discs copy with zero jitter errors. But then there are sometimes when an original disc could have 50% of its songs copy with read errors (the disc is pretty much scratchless and clean). Sometimes I have one song that is causing most of the trouble...I have to recopy it perhaps 5-10 times to get a "perfect" copy, but even that does not assure me of the song being pop and error free.I'd say about 5% of all songs copied, despite being reported as error free, still contain errors.
Maybe it's the generic CD-RW drive in my laptop that is being a bugger, or maybe the extraction software (CDex) I'm using is garbage, though I do enjoy its features, and its cost (free).
Could be the laptop burner though. Errors should be extrememly rare, pops even rarer. :-)
It's still under warranty my laptop. I think I should take it in to get it replace, though I have a feeling Dell is very bitchy when it comes to replacing things that are all but dead.Plus, the last time I phoned Dell Cust. Serv. I was put on hold for nearly 45 minutes, and this was 11:00 PM - hardly a peak hour for calls. Unless its a supply side problem, and they were understaffed at the time.
