As a newbie, I have a simple question. I am using dBpoweramp to rip all of our CDs, and things are going well. I have configured it consistent with what I have read and I have been able to go into a production mode (Secure ripping). However, I have a simple question.
For some of my CDs, most tracks will rip accurately. Some others will rip securely, and I understand what that means. However, every once in a while, a track will rip insecurely, and examination of the error message says, for example, that "Aborted - Have to re-rip 164 frames, re-rip limit set to 100 frames".
Now, if I go in and set that limit up to 1000 frames and try a re-rip, it says that I have reached the maximum 1 unrecoverable frame for this track, or some other message. Or it goes into a re-rip mode, taking forever to finish, and I still get an error.
Now my question. So what? That is, if frames are bad, what effect does that have on the sound? That is, do 'bad frames' simply show up as static, or skips, in a sound track? That is, is there any need to go back and spend time trying to get a 'secure, accurate' rip? We play these CDs on our car radio and whole house sound system, where quality isn't an issue.
