    how do I update to the latest version? Sorry for these simple questions, I didn't see an "about" in the CD Ripper or Converters. Is there a way to receive automatic noticfications of updates or a one...

    Re: Looking for best ripping drive . . .

    Finally found three matching discs; took about 40 tries before I got it to work. My trusty Hot Tuna "Burgers" CD came to the rescue!

    Re: Looking for best ripping drive . . .

    OK, but what about question 2 above, is it possible that the first disc was somehow calculated wrong making it impossible for subsequent discs to match?

    If not, then is it the case that everyone...

    Re: AccurateRip offset puzzle

    I'm having a similiar problem; see my active post "Looking for best ripping drive . . ." near the end of the thread. I may have to go back to a possibly less "accurate" drive (Optiarc 7261) in order...

    Re: Looking for best ripping drive . . .

    I'm still not clear; if the drive is not on accuraterip's cd drive offset list, can it be used as an accuraterip drive?

    AND, what if the first disc is an outlier (not consistent with other disc's)...

    OK, so I went out and got the drive you suggested (Lite-On iHAS424, -98, firmware GL18) which has been around for a while although the one I have has a manufacturing date of Jan 2011.

    Re: Hdcd

    Another answer to my question above about quickly determining if a CD is an HDCD (not all HDCD's are labeled as such). Windows Media Player 9 or above will display the HDCD logo for such CD's.

    Re: HDCD

    On 2, when you say "not possible", do you mean . . .

    A) it's not possible for dbpoweramp to incorrectly read a non-HDCD as an HDCD, or

    I've been ripping to flac with the HDCD option on. There are some CD's that are being recognized by dbpoweramp 14.1 as HDCD but there are no markings anywhere on either the CD or the insert. My...

  16. Re: Multi Encoder handling track *blooper*'s differently

    That may be the standard for mp3 but it can be edited to handle other formats just as FLAC can be edited to handle other formats. Interestingly, The Beatles USB collection that includes 320 bit mp3's...
  17. Multi Encoder handling track *blooper*'s differently

    I'm using the MultiEncoder to rip to FLAC and MP3. The track *blooper*'s in the metadata show up as "01", "02", etc for the FLAC files but appear as "01/09", "02/09", etc for the MP3 files. I see...

    Love the dbpoweramp software and love the idea behind the AccurateRip Accuracy List. But even the 2011 list is full of drives that aren't available anymore. So the only value of the list is to look...
  20. Does drive ripping speed impact accuracy/quality?

    I believe the recommended setting is to leave ripping speed at maximum. For a modern SATA DVD drive where max is 40x or 48x, do these higher speeds affect accuracy or quality (would lower speeds...
