AccurateRip comparing my rips just against my rips?

[Tennberg]

I purchased the dBpoweramp/PerfectTUNES bundle last month, and have been thoroughly enjoying it so far.

When I ran AccurateRip against my collection, it said that 10 CDs were not present in the database. I re-ripped those CDs through dBpoweramp. When I did, 9 CDs came up with green checks/Secure on every track. The 10th CD had the same on every track except the last one, where it had to re-rip less than 10 frames. (I forget what the result was for that last track.) I submitted my rip data to AccurateRip.

I saw today that the AccurateRip DB was recently updated ("February 2014"). I ran AccurateRip again and noticed it's now showing that those 10 CDs are accurate on every track, all with a confidence of 1. In this case, is AccurateRip comparing my rips only against my rips? I find it unlikely that someone(s) would have submitted rip data on all 10 CDs in the last month.

Yes you are comparing against yourself (until the confidence becomes greater than one).

Thanks, Spoon. On a similar note, if AccurateRip shows a confidence of 1 and I know that I didn't submit any rip data on that CD through dBpoweramp or any other app (i.e., the CD was ripped a couple years ago through iTunes), that means my rip matches up with 1 other person? So, a confidence of 1 can mean one of two things - either the rip data in the DB is my submission, so it "matches", or that 1 person matches me? The only way to differentiate the two would be to look at the AccurateRip logs for any confidence of 1 and recall if I submitted data for that CD?

Please excuse me asking a stupid question, but where do you see this information about the status of the database? Is it somewhere in dBpoweramp, or somewhere in PerfectTunes? ..
