What is the benefit or downside to use of error correction? Location: Hollywood, USA. The only downside is having to take more time. Note that both of these tools can be very slow in ripping CDs, particularly if they do multiple passes and compare the results to a known source like a reference on the Web. To tell you the truth, I have more trouble dealing with illiterate people who screw up artist names and song titles, when you have to go in and fix those after or during a CD rip.

I have heard conflicting results from different sources about how different versions of iTunes are bit transparent while others are not. As I only use iTunes to put things on my iPod, I haven't paid close attention to it.
Are there any good references to tests that have been done on this subject? It seems like a wav file is about 2 times the size of Apple lossless. If your using an ipod for playback and trying to achieve the best possible sound quality, is there a file type preference between those two options? Location: Hawaii. Tyler , Sep 3, If you have icky CDs, "error correction" might try for a very long time to get the right bits.
But if that's what it takes, that's what you want it to do, right? Perhaps "error correction" is off by default so that you get a sense of ownership when you set it the right way?

Sep 24, AM in response to jester In response to jester Error correction is only needed if you find that iTunes has trouble importing your CDs with it off.
I have always left mine off and all my CDs import perfectly fine. My advice it turn it off and see how it goes. If you find you get a lot of glitches in your imported stuff, then turn it back on.
If your imports are fine, you gain nothing by turning it on. Cheers, Patrick. Loading page content. Reply Helpful Thread reply - more options Link to this Post.

If he cannot what append? If error correction is off what append in case of damage disk? User profile for user: Denis Lynch Denis Lynch. Sep 24, AM in response to chris31fr In response to chris31fr I think I already answered these questions.
For good disks, iTunes does exactly the same thing if "error correction" is on or off. If iTunes finds a spot that isn't read correctly, and "error correction" is off, iTunes just takes whatever data it gets. You will be able to hear something, ranging from a fraction of a second of missing music to a short burst of noise. If "error correction" is on iTunes will try again and again until it gets the data right.
I've never seen it not succeed. Reply Helpful 1 Thread reply - more options Link to this Post. Sep 28, AM in response to chris31fr In response to chris31fr So if I understand well, and want the best quality possible, If the cd is in good quality, there will be no diference with or without error correction on.
But if I have scratches on or a doubt, I have to use error correction. This additional verification causes an increase in import time. On an older computer, this difference is pretty noticeable, however in newer computers the difference is negligible. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
