You can completely remove all data in a slice a couple of mm wide with no effect on the output at all. Part of the design spec for CDs was that they had to be very cheap to make. That means the information on them has to be very tolerant of manufacturing faults. That means very good error correction. John West - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
