They must sound distorted, as when audio data doesn't survive level 2 - that's it. Unlike CD-ROM Mode 1 Form 1 (data) which has L-ECC (and retries), you're in the land of data loss and frame interpolation. > Other than that I can only think of searching some P2P networks for > the contents of your CD, which you are kept away from although you > paid for it. Those would be lossily compressed. You'd be better off making an analogue dub. =MB= -- A focus on Quality.
