The hydrogenaudio instructions for EAC configuration that
street_samurai linked to above include Accurate Rip, which integrates
with EAC and uses a central database to accomplish that by pooling
checksums from rips performed by many different people. It isn't always
perfect-- varying manufacturing pressings of CDs can result in false
indications of a problem-- but it is pretty darn cool. (Like EAC and
Mp3tag, Accurate Rip is free.)

With that said, if Accurate Rip tells me there may have be a flaw in
the rip, I usually ignore it. If I hear a problem while listening at a
later time, I will go back and see about cleaning off the disk and
trying again. I have not yet heard any flaws during playback through my
SB2, though, even with one CD that had a substantial crack in it.
