Isobuster... as DAE ripper...

played along with some utils..

anything.. bit by bit accurate..

am not shure.. (it`s so long since i used it
last.. you now can see one track at the
time.. instead of session..

"a realy good alt. cdfs (cyber7) replasement"

yup...


a small thing comes to mind.. regarding isobuster..:

can someone answer this,
when i insert a audio cd, for recover.
the tracks ain`t exact size,
theres no "artifacts" on them,
but the extracted wav`s
is somewhat bigger.
ex:
on cd: 66.13Mb 69 341 664 Bytes.
but on HD: 66.13Mb 69 341 708 Bytes
(69 345 280 reported on storage..)

what is the extra bytes.

BWT:
EAC reports 66.12 on cd 
and the same as buster on HD
ditto. with CD DAE.

the track.. is identical.. (except the extra bytes)
in EAC, CD DAE, and Isobuster.
i must add. that the track(`s)
are flawless..
(no silence.. added..)


someone knows what`s going on..

Those extra bytes are the WAV header (a canonical WAV header is always 44 bytes; if your header is a different size, that means the WAV has some extra, non-canonical info stored there).

ahh. 
TnX. for the answer M..

my wonder was realy..
why the two: (EAC & Buster)
reports the same on the HD..
but differ on the cd content... 

more importantly:
what is realy the exact value..
(pantera. vulgar display.-. track 5.)

i mean... what extra info.
can be written to the header..
and is it "evil"...

add.

the track example..
is are in every ripper i have tried..
66.13Mb.. (on CD)
but EAC reports 66.12Mb.

the extracted files is the same though..

what is EAC. doing...

And it would help, BTW, if you thought your whole post before typing.
You know, making an "image" (and cue sheet!  ) in your mind of what you want to communicate, then actually posting it,

Seriously, though, thanks for the tip on Isobuster. Helped on some "unrecoverable" CDs I had.
I'm the one in the picture, sitting on a giant cabbage in Mexico, circa 1978.

I tried isobuster over a year ago, and it was possible to rip some protected audio cds when this tool was running in the background. It sort of calmed the cd-drive down, so other rippers could extract.

That was with a cd drive that other rippers couldn't do so normally.

But this was probably old news.

I'll check this new one out
