The problem is caused by the wobble, thereby creating an error. Since
you have lost the bit in question, you can not recover it. Now 
imagine this process taking place about 2000 to 4000 times in one 
second and tell me it doesn`t affect the outcome of the sound.

Guys, please Read the articles with the URL`s .  They are really
