	::Most CD drives, when asked to read audio samples from a certain position on the disc, actually read a very tiny fraction of a second ahead or behind where they were supposed to. This offset is typically consistent for a given drive model, and [http://www.accuraterip.com/driveoffsets.htm there's a list of known offsets] in the AccurateRip database. If you enter an offset correction here, it can be used to shift the audio data as it is ripped, ensuring the ripped track boundaries ~~perfectly match what's on the disc~~, and simplifying AccurateRip verification of the ripped audio. However, if the drive can't "overread" (many can't), ~~entering a non-zero offset may mean losing some samples from~~ the ~~very beginning or~~ end ~~of the rip—although~~ almost always, the samples ~~in question~~ are all zeroes ~~(digital silence)~~.		::Most CD drives, when asked to read audio samples from a certain position on the disc, actually read a very tiny fraction of a second ahead or behind where they were supposed to.
