Best way to add CDs to AccurateRip?

[pjc2]

I've got a fair number of CDs that aren't currently in AccurateRip, and my plan is to rip those CDs with 3-4 different drives (autoloader, PX-230A, PX-708A, maybe DW-224SLR) to verify their accuracy.

I'd to contribute the results to AR, with the advantage being that I have 4 distinct rips on 4 different drives, but the weakness being that they're all read from the same CD.

How do I do this? Do I just rip it 4 times via CD Ripper and let it submit all 4? Or will it only submit it once? (Conversely, how do I keep it from submitting multiple attempts on a single drive? E.g., with vs. without C2, ultra-secure, etc.?)

How do I compare the 4 rips to each other to verify them myself (since AccurateRip's database isn't instantly updated with the previous rips)?

Only 1 result will appear in the database, unless you use 4 different computers.

What's your preference, given that it's 4 distinct rips of the same CD? I can use 4 different computers, if you'd like the 4 different results. (If you'd like 4 results, how different do the 4 computers need to be?)

What happens with multiple rips on a single machine? Does it just submit the most recent rip? (I'm planning on ripping twice on each drive; I hope they'll be identical, but if not, which one gets submitted?)

And how do I compare the multiple rips myself to see if they're identical? Just diff the FLACs? Any other recommendation?

I would prefer only one result, it does not matter which drive it is from.

Look at the AR CRCs, as each drive might have different offsets the first / last track will always be different. AR CRCs are constant.
