Problem with iTunes ripping?

[wgscott]

I just updated to 10.5.2. Amongst the changes:

 

iTunes 10.5.2 includes several improvements for iTunes Match and fixes an audio distortion problem when playing or importing certain CDs.

Had you noticed any playback issues with imported CDs with 10.5.1? I had not.

 

[wgscott]

No, but I think I only ripped one CD. Aqualung. I might re rip it and convert old and new to wav and checksum them.

I would be interested in the results.

 

Do you think the issue might have only been with CDs that had been imported using 10.5.1 or could the playback issues have also been with CDs imported in previous versions of iTunes and played with 10.5.1? I ask because after making my first post I thought of some anomalies I heard a couple of times recently that I hadn't thought about. I wonder if they are related to that issue. I remember one of the cuts. I think I will play it back again but I am not sure that would prove anything now (I downloaded 10.5.2 also) other than I have a bad file if it happens again.

 

[wgscott]

I don't know. This was the first I ever heard of any problem with iTunes ripping.

Were the bad rips subtle or obvious?

 

If anyone hears any further details, please report here.

 

I'd hate to re-rip numerous CD's.

This is the usual Apple cryptic communication.

 

I think I need to get rid of the Bakunin avatar.
