AccurateRip seems to calculate checksums of tracks and compare them with the known, already-reported track checksums for an existing CD. There are a often numerous varieties of a given CD, and AccurateRip can only compare against what already exists. If your version of the disk is not yet in the database, no accurate comparison can be made. I have many much older pressings of CDs, that are no longer made. Those seem to show up as inaccurate, despite EAC indicating no errors. I believe EAC, and ignore AccurateRip with the assumption that the tracks I have are not the same as those in the database despite the same track title. All of the more popular, or newer discs show accurate rips, with very high confidence levels. In order for the database to be accurate, you'll have to report your rips once you verify they are accurate. -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21325 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
