Asked by Matt Campbell (68.103.72.x) on October 7 2021, 3:09pm Reply on October 7 2021, 7:26pm: We use VC2005 with ICC now for win32/win64 releases (though usually VC2013 for development purposes).

Asked by wasereb4 (79.246.88.x) on October 4 2021, 12:52am Reply on October 4 2021, 1:52am: No, if the reed-solomon error correction produces the same bitstream as was encoded, then there can be no variation in the output (unless the error-correction logic causes other components in the CD player to behave differently, which would be a defect in the player, IMO). 6 Comments...
