Determining Drive's RIP Quality

[Scorpio(DDMF)]

I have an Samsung SC-152L cd rom with the latest firmware (C102)...
I was wandering how good is this drive for audio extraction. I personaly don't care much for reviews on the net, and I would like to test it myself - thats where you come in...

Can somebody recomend testing software and metods for this purpose?

Cheers...

P.S. I already have Nero 6 and CDSpeed program, you are welcome to recommend other programs that can complement CD Speed in testing...

You can compare drives if you have more than one, by ripping a cd with exact audio copy in the most secure mode and comparing how they do. I don't know of any program to objectively test it with. Ripping speed is of little importance, because most programs won't react in a proper way to ripping errors. (Patience is a virtue when it comes to ripping) If you don't how to configure eac, then look up some guides and ask the remainder of your questions here or somewhere else.(hydrogenaudio is a good place too look too)

use some audio files you have on harddisk, burn them onto CD, badly scratch the CD and try to rip it, then compare the rip with the original files and see what you get, if they match, you're fine
