Would it kill you to set this preference and just try it? You are spending an awful lot of time trying to get someone to explain it to you, where you could simply make the change and try ripping a CD to see the results. If it doesn't work the way you want, you only need to fix a few tracks and change the settings back. Sorry, but this discussion is getting ridiculous. Try it out for yourself.
