I have just discovered Max. I am doing my homework so that I get my initial settings down. I have read/ skimmed most entries and have discovered much helpful information (Thanks to all contributors). I did not, however find many references to ripper settings. I am guessing I will use paranoia. My assumption is that you could utilize comparison for a badly damaged disc. Is this correct? Other specific applications for one ripper over another?
General questions: enable logging? encode selected tracks into a single file or not?
Comparison questions: Recommended match & retry settings for avg CD? Use SHA-256?
Paranoia questions: What are the main differences in correction types? How many skipping retries will suffice for the avg CD?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
