EAC says burned CD (offset-corrected) and original are different; why?, Was "eac cd burning" (TOS #6) Options

[gnik61]

After having followed all the instructions and setting the writer offset (+30 for matshita UJ-220) I tried to comopare the wav's . The message is that the original and my rip are -different samples. I went through the whole process again and again but nothing. Am I missing something?

Yes, follow my post in that thread, not the previous one! This discussion has made it readily apparent that going by repeated samples/missing samples is unreliable.

combined read/write samples offset correction = read samples offset correction + write samples offset

...where combined read/write samples offset correction is determined by creating an offset test CD with the write samples offset set to 0 and the read samples offset correction is determined by AccurateRip. So long as you make sure you don't perform an arithmetic error then this will always give you the correct answer. Determining the write samples offset is simple subtraction, just make sure you pay attention to the signs of your numbers. There is no need to concern yourself with what is missing, what is repeated or the meaning of the words ahead or behind.

Plug and chug, baby!
