Don,

Downloading foobar2000, is great advice. Apart from being a superb player, it is also a fantastic diagnostic tool. Even from your Rigoletto, Disc 1 and Disc 2, you will learn a lot, and see how your ripped discs work in the real world. With the foobar2000 app, on my Android tablet, I can see what's happening on the Linux based Synology NAS, from CDs ripped from a Windows laptop, using dBpoweramp.

To keep this thread, with its excellent information clean, I'll try and clarify your point 8), on your Strange Result, thread.

It is well worth re-reading these threads and rip some CDs. It only takes a few minutes, or less, if you rip 1 track per CD, and a second to delete, if you don't like the result! Most people will have deleted loads of files and folders, perfecting their personal music library - you really do learn a lot in 30 minutes, BUT, you will learn far more using your own player / control point, or at least by downloading foobar2000.
