I hope when somebody addresses this they consider all relevant factors.
In Windows (95) when using Easy Cd Creator, if I copy a disk from a CD
without that audio cable, I get a digital copy. With the cable
installed I seem to get an analog copy. Don't know where the magic is
that does that, but the feature is exploitable -- sometimes when I have
a bad CD (something with scratches or whatever) I get a better copy
going the digital route and sometimes I get a better copy going the
analog route.
