Inaccurate rips

[danc6433]

So I am re-buying hundreds (soon to be thousands of CD's) to correct all my initial archiving errors and perfect the audio quality of my collection.
I am obviously having a few tracks that come back as inaccurate and don't match anyone else's rip. Once completed, is there any "shortcut" to determine which tracks are inaccurate? I.E Some sort of search or program to run? I know I can find it in the "tags" info, but I'm not looking forward to searching thousands of tracks for the errors.
Thanks!

Re: Inaccurate rips

Use Batch Converter, select your library (check music) then click List, right click on a column header and add the Accurate Rip item to the columns. Wait for the metadata to load and sort on that column.

Possible with Mp3Tag also

ouch. sounds like a good post for people to read that often say they are "getting rid of their CDs now that they have digital versions." Maybe you mean you are re-ripping vs re-buying.

Yeah, thankfully we have tons of used CD shops in Minneapolis. Amazon and E-bay are quite helpful as well

Very nice...I hadn't even seen or used the batch converter yet, still ripping everything. Looks cool.

Re: Inaccurate rips

Bonus question:
So I have about 15 songs in which the Accurate rip data disappeared. I know it is because I edited the songs with Goldwave (and the re-saved to a flac file).
For example one songs is 15 minutes long, but it is only 3 minutes of music followed by 12 minutes of silence, so I deleted the silence in Goldwave and saved again.
I will also cut and paste speech by the artist in front of the track occasionally.

Does that render the accurate rip info "null and void", or does it just not recognize the longer/shorter version that it approved, but it is still "accurate"? I'm not actually changing the song itself, just deleting or adding and re-saving.
Make sense?

No, it was still accurate as it was being ripped.
