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.

Re: How do I verify a ripped album(s)? [Step-by-step guide]
To verify previously ripped FLAC album, use PerfectTunes, from here:
dBpoweramp: mp3 converter, FLAC, WAV, AAC and Apple Losslesss. CD Ripper, Album Art Fixing, Asset UPnP Server
Optimizing your music collection can be a daunting task, from tracks with missing metadata tags (track, artist, album names), albums missing artwork, duplicated tracks, to corrupted tracks, typically correcting these issues can be a time consuming task. No longer, imagine if a trained professional was on hand to help,
CueTools is a different (nonIllustrate program). A thread on it is here:

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.Comment

>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.Comment

And also, is there a way to verify just one file not a whole album?Comment

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

Re: How do I verify a ripped album(s)? [Step-by-step guide]
There are 2 offsets a drive offset and pressing offset, if a drive is ripped with the 'correct' offset, it will appear as pressing offset 0 for non-pressing discs.Comment

Re: How do I verify a ripped album(s)? [Step-by-step guide]
Do I lose any quality if I split a single-flac album into multiple tracks(files)? I have John Lennon's "Imagine" in a single FLAC file and someone told me to use CUETools->Encode->Tracks->FLAC->libFLAC->8->Go.. in order to do that. So, do I lose quality? It's still lossless after that right?
P.S. Btw, I'm having a 00. HTOA track/file now which is placed before Track 01. Is that bad or something?Comment
