My rip(s) appear not to be getting accepted in the AR database:
Starting point
- 1 pressed retail audio CD
- 2 different PCs
- numerous different disc drives
- not present in either database (CTDB + AR) on first rip (must not have been popular)
Steps taken
- EAC rip on PC1 using drive1
- EAC rip on PC1 using drive2
- EAC rip on PC2 using drive3
- EAC rip on PC2 using drive4
- [...]
- submit results on both PCs
- wait (it's been 8 months)
- CUETools verify
Expected outcome
- AR and CTDB confidence increases with each rip
Actual outcome
- only CTDB is incrementing (8/8 now)
- AR steadfastly disavows any knowledge of the disk ("disk not present in database")
Questions
It's been 8 months since the first rip date - is there a logical explanation for this phenomenon?
What requirements for AR am I not meeting?
Would I need to rip a different specimen of the same disc?
And if so, doesn't that mean if there's only one copy of a cd in existence (like that Wu-Tang clan one, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin), it could *never* get into AR db?
Where can I learn more about these inner workings of AR?
