Does this error correction also work when a track is "ripped" (or 
however it's called) via a CD-ROM drive in a computer? I was always 
under the impression that it does not, since I got so many bad data 
when ripping with my old computer. I always had to proof-listen before 
burning a CD. How good the ripping worked seemed to be dependent of how 
much the CD was scratched, but even badly scratched CDs play well on an 
audio CD player.
