Death, be not proud! Apparently John Adams’s The Death of Klinghoffer has something to offend everyone. When it was new back in 1991, this quintessential opera, based on the 1985 hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro by Palestinian terrorists, created a mild stir among those who perceived it as insufficiently hard on terrorism and more than a bit unfriendly to Jews. Since 9/11, the smoldering resentment has fairly exploded. The Boston Symphony hastily canceled a performance of concert excerpts. Musicologist Richard Taruskin, in an article in the New York Times, accused Adams of romanticizing terrorists and being un-American. The editor of England’s Opera magazine was appalled by Alice Goodman’s libretto, which he dismissed as “desperately naïve,” and even went so far as to say that the opera is “best left unperformed.” After seeing a production in Helsinki, one critic in the same journal hated the work so much that he declared it “an operatic corpse.”

I don't suppose you could find it in your heart to rip these properly?
The only way to eliminate these errors is a multiple-read system such as EAC's secure mode, which checks two independent readthroughs of the data against each other. If there are any discrepancies, EAC then re-reads the disc until a "consensus" bit sequence is established; this sequence is the one saved to the .wav. Secure mode is optimized for low error rate, which sometimes comes at the expense of speed.
The idea behind sharing lossless files is the fact that you're providing an exact copy of the music. Ripping in secure mode with cache disabled, no use of C2, and the proper read offset (the read offset for the BENQ - DVD DD DW1640 drive is +618) provides one with the wav files that can be sure they are an exact copy of what is on the disc. Ripping lossless files in burst mode and disregarding any reports of problems in the log just defeats this whole concept. The whole point to using EAC in the first place is for Secure Mode (or at the very least test-and-copy in burst).
Peace of mind, that's all. Taking the extra time to get lossless files is spent because one wants the best quality. The best quality would be an exact audio copy of the CD. You have the option to do this for people, but you opt to disregard this option, vying instead for a quicker ripping process. The size of the files will be the same, but the assurance of the accurateness of the data is not there.
I can tell this concept is lost on you, so just forget I said anything at all, what do I know about anything...
I just don't get it. Thank you, peachfuzz, for the upload.
And I think this is a great work as well.
