Accuraterip - Newbie Question

[skypilotpete]

I have just started using dbPowerAmp and Accurate Rip instead of Nero to rip Audiobook CDs to mp3. I would really like to hear from other people as to the practical use of Accuraterip. On the CD I have just ripped, two tracks came up with "Inaccurate (2)". I have listened through both of these tracks closely and cannot find any noticable faults - no scratches, glitches, dropouts etc. When I first saw "Inaccurate" I thought - Oh No, I'm going to have to find another CD so I can get a good quality rip, but that is clearly not the case.

Any opinions or experience on whether it is worth bothering with Accuraterip and how to interpret the results would be greatly appreciated.

I rip audiobooks at 64kbs CBR, 44.1khz, Mono.
My CD/DVD drive is an LG GH22NP20

It is likely that there are errors in the track, these errors can be a small section of silence, so are hard to spot.

Re: Accuraterip - Newbie Question

As Spoon already stated, inaccurate doesn't mean that the error is audible.
I use AR (& secure ripping) mainly as an indication that there could be a audible flaw and that track needs a good listen.
But I'm also a perfectionist, so I can't stand insecure results
So I clean and polish the cd and I never encountered a cd I didn't get secure.
But for audible reasons it's not always necessary.

Just to clarify about AccurateRip.

What does:

"X AR (27) X Insecure" mean?

And what does:

"Accurate (26)" mean?

What does:

"X AR (27) X Insecure" mean?

X AR (27) means 27 people had matching rip results that are not the same as yours, and insecure means that there are probably errors

And what does:

"Accurate (26)" mean?

26 people had a rip that exactly matches yours and your rip is accurate without errors.
