Many times a record company will reissue a CD that appears to be the same CD to the AccurateRip system but is really remastered or otherwise changed tracks. I find it common that these will be all inaccurate when reported against your database. Since I know that the CD I am ripping is a reissue. I suggest a way to start a new/alternative set of comparison data to accommodate this issue.
It also happens when a label uses a CDID not theirs or a previous used one of their own and the data provided is completely different than the real original CD I have to rip. I am sure there other examples of this type of situation also.
My first thought is to simply have a check box that says something like 'Alternative Edition'. This way you could establish and check against an appropriate track checksum.

once multiple people rip that edition it will show up in the AR database, nothing extra required
