sample offset

[Qwaz]

i have been reading the accurate rip site and i dont qwite understand what a sample offset is

im guessing a small value for sample offset is good

and that accurate rip will make sure that your offset is compensated for

also how does the sample offset affect created audio files ?

More details are in the forum. Here's an explaination:

It seems that offsets don't affect the end rip if the CD drive can read into the lead-in and lead-out setions. Even if it cannot, though, remember that the offset number is shown out of the 44,100 samples taken every second.

Re: sample offset

so all it is, is basically you can loose 1/100th of a second at the start and at the end of a track

Yes, that 100th of a second is needed for an 100% acuraterip though.
