Hey dude, I always rip at 1X, it gives a 'warmer', and 'less digital' quality CD rip.
makes me wonder if a long-term fantasy of mine - make a flexidisc-style CD which breaks after one play, preferably with the world's most catchy tune on it - is possible.
I *hope* EPaul was joking... but that aside, brilliant idea acb - this CD will self-destruct...
of course people will rip CDs at 1x (xing audiocatalyst has an 'analog copy' feature that does this). yes, it makes it slower, but not impossible.
