VerifyCD verifies that a burned CD or the final pressed CD has identical sound data with the master file.
Everybody who burns CD-Audio records and wants to make sure that the audio data is correct! There is less error correction used for audio CDs than for normal file system CDs and errors are likely to occur depending on the quality of the CD-R medium. Without a utility like VerifyCD it is simply necessary to listen to the whole record to make sure that there are no pops or glitches. The situation is even worse since you may not notice an error because of the error correction embedded in all CD players. VerifyCD makes sure that the digital data on the disc is equal to the master file. Professional users like CD manufacturing plants and Radio/TV stations are now using this as a quick, reliable and inexpensive method.
The glasmastering plant will run a quality check of the CD measuring error rate and pit geometry, so refer this part of the testing to them. You cannot do error rate testing by listening since you are dependant on the CD player used.
