Post Subject: Raw file Size vs Ripped Aiff file SizePosted by Amir on: 8/14/2018
un-compressed RAW file -> optical Disc -> Ripped File
putting RAW files on optical Disc is a process (it may be lossy, I don't know, Mark claims A disc containing 74 minutes and 33 seconds of music contains 6.3 billion bits. Of all those bits only 33% are audio bits, with the rest being overhead. )
Ripping optical Disc is a process (romy thinks it is lossy, I do not know)
un-compressed RAW file = pure PCM 44100/16bit
optical Disc Capacity is 74min for 44100/16bit
Ripped File Size (AIFF) is 74min for 44100/16bit
if RAW file Size is equal to Ripped File Size and they sound different then ripped file should be filled with un-correct data.if ripped files filled by un-correct data and all CRC codes are equal then CD-Roms all have equal reading mechanism but they could not read all data like CDplayers.it means CDplayers could read all data and cd-roms could not read all data and files on PC contain un-correct data.
I think we need a man describe it to us. I have found no information in internet.
I have emailed Gordon Rankin and he think AIFF is equal to Optical Disk Data :
"Not that I am going to read this because it's total BS, but they probably don't mention that they are using the same drives that are in computers and therefore have the worse problems reading on the fly compared to reading it more than ounce. "Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
