EAC - "timing problem" ?

[chip-hp]

What does "timing problem" mean when it appears in the Audio Extraction Data even though it also says "No errors"? What causes it?

I can eliminate them by recopying the track several times. I tried to find something about it in the EAC Tutorial. If you can post a link, I would appreciate it.

From one of EAC's coders:

"It just means that reading the data took a bit longer than expected... It doesn't tell anything about error detection or correction..." Andre

Yes, however a "timing problem" can give cause for concern for the portions that DID take too long to come down. In EAC, after the rip, you have an opportunity to listen to the questionable parts. Sometimes you won't hear any problems, but sometimes you will.

This can happen, especially in Burst mode. When Secure Mode with C2 is selected, the drive will try and make absolutely sure the transfer is accurate. It's much longer for some drives.

Using Burst Mode or Secure Mode depends on the job, the material, and the preference of the user.
