audio CDs have many errors and are not corrected, per the protocol. they *may* be corrected by the player (hence the better players have less trouble, less audible problems).
The above is misleading. There is substantial error correction in audio discs, but the last layer used for CD-ROM is missing. Error concealment is used when needed to maintain the flow of sound in the presence of read errors.
There is a page on encoding in the primer at my WWW site; it was written by someone who understands the methodology, something I will not claim for myself.
