since now, every cd i've ripped to flac has track quality 100%. i though all flacs ripped from CDDA should be 100% quality.
now i've enter log and seen that:

QUOTE

Track 1
Filename D:\Muzyka\!Workspace\01 - Conceiving You (album version).wav

Peak level 98.8 %
Track quality 99.9 %
Test CRC C978DC15
Copy CRC C978DC15
Copy OK

...

No errors occured

using EAC v0.95b4 and FLAC 1.1.2

track quality isn't 100%

maybe this is a newbie question but i'm warried about that i won't be able to unpack flac to wav without losing quality?

i've click "new topic" in flac section, dunno why it's apear in this section. mod please move thread

From the EAC website:

Q: What does the Track Quality really mean? A few times I get 99.7% or 97.5%. But there are no suspicious position reported.

A: When you get 99.7% and so on, that means that a bad sector was found, but the secure mode has corrected it - from 16 times of grabbing the sector, there were 8 or more identical results. So it only indicates read problems. It is the ratio between the number of minimum reads needed to perform the extraction and the number of reads that were actually performed. 100% will only occur when the CD was extracted without any rereads on errors. ONLY when there are suspicious positions reported, there are really uncorrectable read errors in the resulting audio file.

Track quality has nothing to do with flac.

Please use Search! ... The "track quality" question has been answered many times.

This is the correct forum for your question, because it has nothing to do with FLAC.
