Does winamp, windows media, or ITunes have error correction, wave form comparison, or rescanning of tracks? Or is eac the only program that does this. Will definitely look in to it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kelly Pierce To: PC Audio Discussion List Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 11:26 PM Subject: Re: Some CDEX questions
Not necessarily. CDEX doesn't have error correction and wave form comparison, rescanning the same track two dozen times. EAC can often salvage a scratched disc. there is much discussion on the Internet comparing the two programs, check it out.
