The ONLY way to be guaranteed correct ripping?, EAC, secure + fast rip Options

[DrDoogie]

I have a problem .

EAC seems to have a problem reading cds with errors on 'em (that is 'errors' as in: "Step right up folks, *tap tap tap* come see the errors, an error for the fine lady Sir? You can never go wrong with an error my good lady, an error for every season and taste, an error a day keeps the sanity away is what I say"..., i.e. generic errors of any kind).

Just. So.

And how, then, can I be certain I've read the CD correctly? Notice the word 'certain', by the way. Sadly, few people seem to grasp the abstract meaning of the word, much the same way that the concepts 'accurate', 'precise', and 'reliable' seem to escape them.

So I throw my meager wits upon the mercy of the minds in this forum, in my pitifull plea for an injection of intelligible truth into my chaotic existence (ok, maybe the 'corny'-factor could be turned down a little, , but my verbosity is great because my plight is in blight. Or something. ).

Personally, I never said that your results came from a defective RAM, I just said that errors in CD ripping is often the only visible manifestation of a defective RAM...

Mm.
I think we will have to agree to disagree on that one.

Having used memcheck 3.0 with all the simple tests (1.5 hours) last night, I am firm in my belief that discrepancies between extractions wit plextools and EAC cannot be blamed on any "boogy-men" in the ram.
