So this is the most reliable/best way/program to verify if the rip has been properly ripped and identical to the CD quality?
And also, is there a way to verify just one file not a whole album?

yes, getting even "1" match to someone else's rip is excellent verification, and the best option available anywhere. No, you can't verify single tracks (yet), only albums as far as I know.,

>AccurateRip Verified Confidence 111

This means your rip matches 111 other rips, your rip is 100% identical to the CD.

Offset comes from either the CD drive or different batch of CDs (pressing runs), it does not affect the sound quality. ARv2 is the CRC method used to match.

Does all that say that it's a perfect rip and 100% identical to the CD quality? What's offset +0 and ARv2...

Re: How do I verify a ripped album(s)? [Step-by-step guide]

1. install perfecttunes from above link
2. go to Perfect tunes in program listing and execute ProgramTUNES Accuratereip
3. it will initially start looking for you music in a certain music subdirectory. Pause it, then select the tool icon in upper right, then you can remove directories or add directories. If you just want to examine a single album, add just that directory. Otherwise you can point it at the top level of your music directory and it will start checking ALL your albums for accuraterip match.

Is that the best way/program/most reliable for verifying FLAC rips?

To verify previously ripped FLAC album, use PerfectTunes, from here:

CueTools is a different (nonIllustrate program). A thread on it is here:

Ok, I heard that you can verify a previously ripped FLAC album with some software called CueTools.. What I need is a step-by-step guide of exactly how do I verify the album, probably using AccurateRup database or idk.. So yeah, that's what I need. Help please.
