I've downloaded the trial version of dbPoweramp, which I think behaves
as (one of?) the paid-for versions for a couple of weeks.  

However, dbp doesn't seem to do what's described above. If I choose a
"secure" rip, it always makes two passes before saying anything about
AccurateRip.  So if the disc shows up in AR, I usually rip one track in
Burst Mode first; if that survives AR, then I'll use burst for the rest;
otherwise I'll redo the whole lot in secure mode.  In the latter case,
it'd be slightly more efficient to be able to not waste effort
re-encoding if the CRC matches for the burst-ripped track.

That doesn't seem much better than what I'd do in EAC. (If the album's
in AR, burst-rip.  If any tracks don't match AR, test them in Secure
mode.  If the CRCs differ, re-rip them in Secure mode.  Sometimes on a
hunch I'll just re-rip them in Secure on the second step, expecting
them to pass AR this time.)

Can the paid-for version really be configured to stop after pass 1 in
secure mode if it passes AR?

Also, I've had a couple of pathological cases where after the second
pass, dbp wanted to re-check tens of thousands of frames - which would
take forever!  (This might've been because I was doing other things
that briefly put a big load on the CPU - annoyingly enough, that's when
I'm also not keeping an eye on dbp, so I don't notice that it's gone
weird on me...)  So far, I've found that if I skip the track and come
back to it afterward, it rips OK in two passes.

I do have a lot of albums with 70-minute tracks, so might have to watch
for dbp becoming a memory-hog!  (And maybe it's time to expand the
memory - 1G was a lot when I got this machine!)

I do like the PerfectMeta multi-source tagging, but isn't that
something that has to be renewed annually?
