...only when burst ripping don't end you a perfect result.
Is secure ripping really necessary?

No, the onboard memory of your processor / PC will be fine, these options just tell the program what to use. Quote:
Other people who have ripped the same CD have submitted 'maps' of their rips. The software compares your new map to the online posts and looks for changes. Quote:
I don't think that matters too much. The drive is used to read the data by the program. The program is what fixes any errors. Quote:

I do not use EAC as J.River's implementation of secure rip rivals EAC.
I do always use Secure Rip
1- I have never had a bad rip using this setup
2- I am not in a hurry so the time factor is not critical to me
3- Peace-of-mind is.

quick question:
Can you use EAC to rip to Apple Lossless?

I seem to recall EAC had the ability to use an external encoder, which pretty much opens the door for anything
edit: With a program other than EAC you can also resort to a 2-step process if you had to. Rip to wav then encode with seperate software.
