AccurateRip & "Different Pressings"
Hi everybody,
I'm new to this forum and about to archive my CD-Collection on my PC using EAC and AccurateRip - guess that's might be a typical Newbie first liner.
Having already started with a dozen different test CD's, a couple of questions have emerged, that I couldn't find an answer (or FAQ) to. So hopefully you'll be so kind and help me on my way to my perfect digital CD-Library: :smile2:
First and most importantly:
I've quite some CDs with track quality 99,9% - 100% and matching CRCs (Test & Copy), yet none of these tracks are "accurately ripped". The suggested reason given by EAC for this problem is, that I've probably got a "different pressing".
Now at first this seemed a perfectly valid explanation to me, given that absolutely none of the tracks are matching, whereas with the other CDs all the Tracks are accurate Rips.
The strangething about this is, that I've got a two CD Version of a Musical and when I rip the first one, I get Accurate Rips all the way, whereas with the seond one (from the same set!!!) i get no Accurate Rips at all (tough track quality is usually 100%). So can this really be a different pressing (being sold together in the same box), or is there something that I might be doing wrong?
Secondly, when I get an Accurate Rip (with confidence Level xy), can I then be 99,9% (or even more) sure, that I've got a perfect copy of the track or is there still a chance that I might be doing something wrong?
Thirdly, what role do the Gaps play?
Can a wrong setting in EAC regarding this, result in incorrect audio files?
And finally, does it matter what CD-Drive you're using, as long as you're getting AccurateRips?
Thanks in advance,
Bishop
