Why do most software packages cause errors on CDrs?
The simple answer to this is that most people do not use their CD burners to collect live music that may be umteenth generation copies. As I indicated above, often errors do not become apparent until a couple generations down the line. Therefore, if you are copying a regular store-bought CD (which I do not advocate because it’s illegal), you probably won’t notice any problems. Because of this most software manufactures have sacrificed perfect quality for speed. 99 percent of these errors are caused during the process of digital audio extraction (DAE). DAE is the process by which your computer reads the data from a CD and converts the music on the CD into .wav files (.aiff files if you use a Mac). This is a tough process for your computer to handle, and often a bit here or there is missed when reading from the CD. The spot where the bit is missed will often lead to those annoying pops.
