Just to justify/clarify, I ripped the same audio track twenty times and diffed
each of the resulting .wav files.  I found that one of those files was different
from all the others, even though cdparanoia's output and return code was
identical in all cases.

My cdparanoia --version is "cdparanoia III release 10pre0 (August 29, 2006)".

I'm contemplating writing a shell script that wraps cdparanoia and performs the
requested rip three times, only keeping one set of files for which the same
result was obtained by one other rip.

Thoughts?  Is this unnecessary?  Is it my drive's fault?

Thanks,
Forest
