DTS can hold up to 6.1 channels.  For several years, people have been
making their own conversions of old quadraphonic records and tapes and
producing DTS audio CDs with the 4.0 music, though I think they're
still technically encoded as 5.1.

Yes...before DTS became somewhat common on DVDs, it was used for audio
CDs.  The fact that you weren't aware of that kinda tells you right off
that they didn't exactly fly off the shelves into every home. :)  Quite
a few of the titles that were issued were 1970s quadraphonic mixes with
derived center and LFE tracks, but there were also some modern remixes
of more current albums.  I don't think anyone is still producing the
discs commercially, but the software is cheap enough that people are
still churning out their own conversions of old quad material, though
many have moved on to DVD-A.

dBpoweramp and EAC both read a CD's sectors multiple times until
they've gotten a consistent result, at which point they assume the
extraction is error-free.  Apparently whatever went wrong with my drive
resulted in sending the same bits to the extraction software multiple
times, so the software thought it had an error-free read.

Unfortunately, the bulk of what I was working on was not and never will
be in AccurateRip.  Also, even titles that might be in there would not
verify because it's very rare that someone burns with the proper write
offsets.

I did have some more common discs that verified with AccurateRip and
others that that claimed to be in AccurateRip, didn't verify, but
claimed to be "secure".  I attributed that to different pressings of
the same title, but now it seems more likely that I just have junk.
