Hello. In EAC there is an option to "Detect TOC Manually" under the Action menu and when I do this it adjusts the track time/lengths slightly. Should I be doing this before I make rips or not? I can't tell which value is the correct one, the initial lengths that appear when you put in the cd, or the manually detected ones?

thanks,
Mike

You could try different gap detection methods and see if the difference is still there. Manual TOC detection's intention is to be used for copy protected CDs that aren't recognized correctly otherwise. No need to use this feature for unprotected CDs.

If you want to know more about this feature you'll probably find something at EAC forum.

Thanks, I was wondering what this was for. I have been trying to rip "Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik" and on a normal CD player it plays tracks from the correct starting point, but on my computer there is overlap of the tracks when I play them from a CD player program (before I even rip them). I ran the detect TOC and it worked a little better but still not perfect. Is this a problem with offsets or gap detection? The CD is not copy protected because it is from 1991.
