What a load of crap, there is no "metering" necessary to rip a CD and

can't tell the CD is really clipped should be out of a job for being
technologically incompetent.

Hint: there is no one definition for an "over" because you can in fact
not measure how far over the signal has gone once it has clipped.

Don't need to, more than 3 or so consecutive samples at dFS is usually
considered over, (unless it's a test recording of a square wave) how far
over is irrelevent to the definition (if not the sound), it's still clipped.


All
you can do is decide how many consecutive FS samples you consider an over,
and not everybody sets the limit at the same place.

Right, have a look at some modern CD's with 100's of consecutive samples at
dFS and pretend it's not over if YOU want!
That's called the osterich concept :-)
