AccurateRip and Secure ripping

[Bgle]

Hi, I'm sort of a newbie to all of this advanced ripping stuff, so hopefully I can get some questions answered.

1. What exactly is AccurateRip and how does it differ from Secure ripping?
2. Should I use a Secure ripping on clean and non-scratched CDs?
3. Does the MP3 format support surround systems? If not, does AAC?

Thanks for your time.

1. you can read more about AR here http://accuraterip.com/

AccurateRip basically compares your rips against others, the idea being, that if they are the same, they should be accurate.

2. Yes, even if they appear clean and unscratched their can be errors

3. Your Audio CD is not surround, you have 5.1 as a source file?

Thanks for the replies. Spoon, what exactly is a source file?

Source File = where the audio originates

Re: AccurateRip and Secure ripping

Correct me if I'm wrong; some CDs are 5.1 and some aren't?

P.S. Is there any way to automatically set the featured artists in the title before I rip CDs? For example, instead of "Chris Brown; Juelz Santana - Run It!" I would like it as "Chris Brown - Run It! (feat. Juelz Santana)".
