Audio CD Tester?
-
I have a bunch of old audio CDs (real ones) that I want to test for good/bad without listening to all of them (well over 500). I am getting ready to sell them off and want to make sure they are still good after all this time (some are 25 years old now, got my first CD player in 1985). Any suggestions? Thanks!

Well, like has already been mentioned you could rip them. There was some software that my Dad used that ripped each song 3 times and compared the files to make sure it got a perfect rip, if it found a mistake it would try again and if it still found differences between the ripped audio then it would tell you. Unfortunately I can't remember what it was called. It does take a lot longer to rip a CD (about 3 times longer) but it's still quicker than listening and all you need to do is swap the discs occasionally, and delete the rips every now and then.
My current favourite phrase: I've seen better!

Don't test unless/until you know there's interest. Let the buyer test what he wants.
