How can you have a "bit perfect copy" if the reproduction doesn't contain the same information as the original? Isn't that why audio cds have 1 byte of redundant parity data for every 3 bytes of audio data? Error correction vs error smoothing. That's an awful lot of space to waste if you're just blending a skip in the track.

I still can't make sense of the list, but I would agree that there are better programs to rip with than iTunes.

Also, ripping and encoding music in a lossless format so you can listen to it on your iPod is stupid.
