CD Rip Errors

I was just thinking about this as I ran into a few CD's the ripped successfully but had errors. If you have the information on where those errors occurred, would it be possible to surface that after the rip gets done as timestamps in the affected tracks? Sometimes, even if a rip doesn't validate as accurate, the errors aren't audible, so it'd be nice to be able to know where they happened and hear if they matter or not.

That is a great idea, though it's more of a suggestion for CUETools/CUERipper than MBA. It's also possible that CUETools has something like that built-in already, but I'm not aware of it.

I have ripped 4 cds after downloading the newest version and all have playback errors, although the rip indicated the rip was successful.  Any suggestions for improvement?

 

I would need more details here. What is the log of the rip? If the rip is saying that it's accurate, then it's guaranteed to not have any errors as it's comparing with other rips from the web.

I changed the playback latency to 300 without improvement.  Then increased latency to 400 and stuttering, skips disappeared.  Is there an optimal setting for latency?  Thanks

 

I see; that makes sense. I would set the latency to whatever works on your system without stuttering. The only disadvantage of longer latency is that it takes a tiny bit longer to start or stop tracks, so higher latencies are not much of an issue. You can also try the other various playback engines. I prefer DirectSound though, personally.
