You can also use a distributed version of this approach: www.accuraterip.com
maintains a database of checksums generated from rips of CDs that you can compare your rips against. You get a "confidence" number that indicates how many submitted rips agree with yours. Any match gives a pretty good indication that your rip is accurate. EAC and dbPowerAmp are currently the only supported rippers. I tend to use dbPowerAmp for most of my rips because it's much faster than EAC on my system. If I don't get an accuraterip match I'll re-rip and see if I get the same checksum for another rip. If so, I assume it's a good rip. If I don't get a match after one or two retries then I fire up EAC and let it do its best to get a good rip off the CD. > To really, really know that you have the correct bits, > you would have to have at least three separate CDs, and separate > computer/CD combos, then extract it three times and use > a computer "voting" scheme to tell which is right.
