Hello,
I recently finished archiving all my CD's & started listening to some today. I found this noise in one track so far that's not there on the CD.
Any time there were errors during rip I put the disc aside so everything that got saved was (supposedly) error-free.
It sounds like the clicks that happen when a machine playing something is overloaded. I don't think that was why though, since the box I ripped them on is a 3GHz Core2 Quad w/ 4G RAM. It was only somewhat unresponsive during pre-track gap detection.
I'm hesitant to call it an artifact because I'm new to recording terminology & am not sure it's the right word to describe it accurately.
I was able to find it in Adobe Audition 3 & have a screenshot of it at the following address:

Unfortunately while I've had it for a few months, I've yet to find the time to learn how to use it.
This is actually the first time I've used it.
Sorry I don't know how to add img link (without a button), either.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to re-rip all these CD's again, now that I know there's potential for errors. 100% accuracy is the goal.
Please advise.
Re: mysterious noise added
Hi there. I apologize for the long delay (see this post for the details) in getting back to you. On the off-chance you see this update, please post back or e-mail me directly. I'm not sure offhand what could cause the problem you'd describe, but I'd like to help you try to figure it out, particularly if you're using AutoFLAC. Accuracy is the goal for my rips as well, so I'd like to identify and fix any possible issues.
Please let me know if you're still around. Thanks.
