[X4U] importing audio CD as AIFF

[John Lyon]

IRT A:

In the real world, it doesn't matter much - if at all. CDDB will still
identify the disc - or give you several choices; one of which is almost
certainly the right choice.

IRT 2:

Again, in the real world, it doesn't matter much.

IIRC, the original question was how to create an original so the TOC is
maintained. I maintain it doesn't matter - a new TOC will be generated,
which will be close enough for CDDB to accurately id the disc with the new
TOC. And I'm remembering I have converted tapes to CD, and the TOC has been
close enough for CDDB to accurately ID the resulting CD.
