PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

Re: PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

That's a good point porcus. Thank you porcus and garym. I know I bang on abit. Are CDs that error prone or is this me again stressing and making something worse that it is?

Re: PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

If I had my way I'll have two of everything

AccurateRip is better than that. 60 hits? Two would suffice. It would be better than you trying to rip twice, because they would be much closer to independent.

Re: PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

Hi porcus, yes the accurate rip rating is in the Id tag of the track. I just have an urge to double check things :(

If you only double checked things that would be ok. You check things about 100 times and are still worried. ;-)

p.s. accuraterip is not really a rating, it is a "confidence" match. So this doesn't mean a confidence result of 150 is a "better" rip than a confidence rip of 50 (or 2 for that matter). A rip is either perfect or it is not. The confidence score simply gives you information on how many other people got exactly the same rip as you. Even ONE OTHER PERSON getting the same rip as you on a different computer, with a different drive, with a different copy of the CD is a pretty amazing confirmation.

I struggle to believe things and always see the worst. I worry that CDs are problem matic and it's just mine. If I had my way I'll have two of everything, but probably be on the street if I did that !

Re: PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

If you didn't keep logs, then look for the ACCURATERIPRESULT tag. (Provided that was written ... I only know my setup.)

So there really wasn't an issue with that guys rips ?

forget about that guy's rips. Go listen to some music. ;-)

Re: PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

It is not related to crcv1, crcv2 or pressing offsets, instead it is where the drive suddenly reads with a different offset, even so technically there is no real data error, all that is happening is the data is shifted by a offset.

Re: PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

Ok spoon, so when someone posted about "bad rips" getting in the database, what do they mean? Was it not reading another crcv1 or crcv2 table ?

[Spoon]

Re: PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

No, pressing offsets are where the record label makes another batch of CDs for the shop (could be 2 years later after first batch), each batch has an inbuilt pressing offset, it happens on every cd.

Re: PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

Thank you porcus, that helps explain why the results were less. Was stressing about that. So I'm all good and no need to rerip the CDs?

So the 3 people with the offset result -30, could those be bad rips which was raised in the previous post?

I have since turned logging on, when I started I was a dbpa novice. No need to rerip for those logs?

Re: PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

I don't have my original logs :( bit worried mine were 200 to start with, now changed? How would this have happened and why?

Because PerfectTUNES only reports to you the matches in version 2 of AccurateRip ("ARv2"). They are fewer.
PerfectTUNES is _beta_ software, and shouldn't be expected to have all features yet.

Also, why the two different results for crcv1?

The one with offset -30, you mean? I'd suggest you look in earlier threads you have participated in. Short: they are additional matches to a different pressing, where the difference is that the bitstream is moved 30 samples to the left or right.

Re: PerfectTunes changed confidence rating

and as fanatical as you are about these things, going forward, I recommend setting dbpa to output full information logs in the settings, and to automatically save those logs in the same directory as the album tracks. Then you'll always have your original logs.

What I meant garym was that I send you my log off all my Beatles mono albums and check against your log from perfectTunes for your mono boxset. Could we ?
So if a result came back as 2, your happy?

Also, why the two different results for crcv1? Could that be "bad rips"?

re the results for crcv1, No these are NOT bad rips. No need to send me your logs. This would be silly. Why check against my log, when you can check against 50 or more people's logs automatically!!!!! You have the files. Run PerfectTunes against those files. If PerfectTunes tells you they are all accuraterip OK then your rips are good--end of story (and for me anything at a confidence of 2 or more is all I need to be happy).
