AccurateRip is definitive. If AccurateRip confirms it, you have an accurate rip. EAC is my preferred tool - I don't use dBpowerAMP. However AccurateRip is developed by the same developers as dBpowerAMP, so yes, it should work and if it doesn't, you should consult their forums. If you got AccurateRip working on dBpowerAMP, the checksums between it and EAC would match, by definition. cdparanoia tries to perform secure ripping but doesn't tell you where it encounters errors - on many front-end applications that use it, I found you can't even get an indication that there were errors at all after ripping! It doesn't support AccurateRip and seeing that it also doesn't log errors, I don't use it. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60890
