I agree with Accuraterip being not so great with UK discs - I get failure on almost 50% of the discs I get. I've now got EAC set up exactly as I need. I use MAREO and rip in three formats - FLAC for the Squeezebox and for archiving (Slimserver runs on a Windows small business server and I run a seperate monthly tape backup of all my music), 320k AAC VBR for use on my iPod in my car's Lexicon Logic 7 sound system, and 160k VBR for the kids Creative players.
I've done lots of testing with discs which generate perfect Accuraterip results. I use a Lite-on SHM 165P6S DVD drive. The EAC seetings suggest turning on C2 plus the "drive caches audio tag". This second option slows down extraction significantly, but I've found that with my drive certainly turning it on makes no difference to the generated CRC - with all the drives the red blocks show that error correction is being employed, so if you do want to speed up extraction and keep EAC try the same tests on your drive. I do like the Lite-On drives - they tend to work with most media and Lite-on update the firmware about once a month as new media is introduced.
