What does it mean when the CRC numbers are red?

[Wandrin*]

Apologies, this answer is probably in here or the release notes somewhere, but 'crc' and 'red' are too short to search on. I went through several pages of thread headers with no results.

So...

What do the red CRC numbers mean when I have 'accurate' or 'secure' results?

Thanks!

Re: What does it mean when the CRC numbers are red?

If you rip a track twice, the CRC will turn green if they match and red if they don't. So you have recently ripped twice with different results.

- Only in exceptiona cases will both be "Accurate". It could be if you have tried two different physical CDs which are different pressings but have the same TOC. Or -- because of the presence of such -- you ended up with a misconfiguration of AccurateRip (one configuration for each run). Or even: you have tried a manufactoring-defective CD where two outcomes are likely (and the same two outcomes prevail over all items sold, so that they will both end up in the database) -- I suspect this is the case with "The Great Gig In The Sky" from Pink Floyd's "Pulse".
- Both showing up as "Secure" could happen for similar reasons, and more often. Especially both showing up as Secure (Warning).
