I tested mine by makIng a copy of several (and in one case badly scratched but playable) CDs from my CDP to CDR in my CD Recorder and then ripping those onto my PC to see what EAC had to say. A while back there was some contention here about whether CDPs were capable of accurately pulling data off a disc and how effective their error correction is. If you manage to get any fingerprints onto the blank it could screw up. The trick is to find a source of good quality no brand discs and buy a big barrel of them.Īlso a clean blank. I know CDR quality can make a difference, but also that CDR quality seems utterly independent of price. Certainly this inexpensive one I got in Maplins makes perfect copies. I don't think the burner makes a difference, though I guess it's possible there are rubbish ones that don't work properly. Slower is generally considered more reliable.
I've also seen (cheap) blanks that have visible obvious defects in the media too.īurning speed can affect things too. I have definitely burnt data cd's/dvd's in the past that have had corrupt sectors straight off the burner. Some burning software has the option to validate/verify the burnt disc to ensure it matches what it was trying to burn.
Also some standalone player can get fussy with some cd-r's. And with the player not able to have the luxury of decent error correction routines or the ability to re-read any dodgy sectors, this could affect playback. A crap disc might cause the player some hassle to read. The only area I would wave a finger at is the quality of the blank and whether your CD player was reading it back satisfactory. When burning, what the laser etched into the disc should match your flac. I assume you did a decent rip and what you have on your hard drive matches what was on the original.
