Instead of rereading to see what was actually there, it will interpolate a value that makes sense. ITunes’ idea of error correction is to take an average across the error. If they find an inconsistency, they reread the chunk. Most good ripping software will attempt to verify what was read to ensure an accurate copy.
Spinning discs are susceptible to errors picked up from vibration or scratches on the surface. Most CD rippers have some notion of error correction. It is a pain to use, deliberately makes some things difficult or impossible (e.g., dragging music files out of it for copying or transfer to a non-iOS music player) and is bad at its job! In this case, the job I’m referring to is ripping audio from a CD. Let me reiterate: iTunes is not good software. If this is something you still do from time-to-time, read on.
COPY CD TO ITUNES FULL
It’s going well, thanks, but there was one piece that was still missing for me: ripping CDs.įor most people living in the modern age of streaming music, this probably won’t matter, but for the collectors out there with shelves full of old discs, it might still be important. I recently wrote about my efforts to get iTunes out of my life. They are an obsolete technology that existed in the latter quarter of the twentieth century and enjoyed a brief metamorphosis into the DVD (“digital versatile disc”) and Bluray formats at the beginning of the twenty-first century before fading away forever. A CD or “Compact Disc”, is a small, shiny round surface containing optically-readable, microscopic bumps used to encode music or data.
