Hi Nik, by using dbP or EAC? Or by using a different drive for ripping? Yes, evidence for both. Just google for some info on dbP, EAC and AccurateRip. As for the drive, dbP compared around 100 different drives for accuracy etc and there is quite a difference between them. The Teac i mentioned above is one of the best going for ripping although it's out of production and getting on a bit (hence not on the current dbP list). Getting a refurb for £10 is a no brainer as its not like your loosing much if it goes tits up. Info's on their website. http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=23074. Just between Superdrives the older Matshita's are more accurate then the Optiarc's fitted in the new MBP's.
