General ripping strategy question

Re: General ripping strategy question

You figured it out LtData. Ripping in burst mode to a local drive took 4 minutes. That's more like it!

Now back to my original question. What settings should I opt for for 98% of my collection if I'm going for Flac's? I assume I'm someone who would appreciate secure mode, so that answers that, but what about these settings...

After Encoding Verify Written Audio on or off?

AccurateRip on or off?

Clear Read cache with FUA on or off (the test says my drive supports it)?

C2 Error Pointers for Error Detection on or off (the test says my drive supports it)?

Anything else?

AccurateRip on, FUA if your drive supports it, c2 pointers on.

Thanks Spoon. Last question...How about Ultra Secure Mode? Is it only necessary to enable this under certain conditions, or should I enable it for all my rips? Should I vary drive speed with each pass too?

Re: General ripping strategy question

I recommend enabling the option to vary the speed on each pass.
As for UltraSecure mode, that is up to you: are you ripping for an archive, which should use UltraSecure, or for a portable player, which doesn't necessarily need UltraSecure.
