I'm currently ripping my collection using EAC/AccurateRip. Like others, my goal was to create files with data that mirrored the data on the CDs as closely as possible. But I've found the usefulness of AccurateRip, at least in my case, to be somewhat limited. Aside from identifying the offset value of my particular drive so that EAC could compensate for it, what I've found with at least 50-60% of my rips, is that the CDs I'm ripping are not in AccurateRip's database. Another 20-25% of my discs report as having been ripped inaccurately with the disclaimer that my disc may be from a different pressing than the one in the database. Some discs are reported as having some tracks accurately ripped and others, not. I reripped a few of these discs and got the same results, so I gave up on that futility. Only occasionally do I rip a disc that AccurateRip reports as having been ripped with 100% accuracy. -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19153 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
