Which one is right?
All that copying a file without errors means is there were no bit errors in reading the file from the drive. It doesn't mean the audio isn't corrupted in some way. You really don't have any concept on how things work in the digital world do you? A bit error will definitely mess with your file but an error in what those bits represent won't give a bit error.

I hope I don't ever have you work for me or do work for me.
