All the errors in this process can be corrected - if you are doing things properly then the ripped files will be identical to the source files, no matter what speed you are working at. The only difference between audio and data CD's is that there is one less layer of error correction for audio CD's and some CD drives (and most software) don't handle audio errors properly.
