Thanks, NRen2k5.

If 'full paranoia' mode results in a more accurate extraction, then I'll go
ahead and just keep it set that way all the time. On one CD, I did rip
using full paranoia because I was getting jitter errors in 'standard' mode,
and the rip went through nice and clean, and it really didn't take any more
time, either.

Thanks for the notice on 3.97. I'll do some checking around and see if 3.97
is supposed to improve the alt preset standard setting in any way. That's
really all I've been using, so if alt preset standard isn't going to
change, then I'll go ahead an keep encoding with 3.96.1.

Thanks again.
Greg
