dBpowerAMP Music Converters new feature to make rips more accurate. For an explination on how it works, visit here:
For those who are new to AccurateRip - it is my effort to create an eventual online database, much like freedb but this one contains CRCs of peoples CD Rips so that others can assertain if their rip is accurate. It is my understanding that this is the only way to achieve 100% AccurateRips. Needless to say it is a large database system, but only the database is not too large at the moment, that is where you lot come in One word to note, the system will not activate until it has been configured and it will not configure unless you have one of the disks listed below.
************************************************** **
If you have installed AccurateRip Test #1 please uninstall both dBpowerAMP Music Converter and the Accurate Rip DataBase before installing this next version.

Developments:
The system has been made more resistant to being infected by corrupt results by making it a requirement that a 'keying' ie recognised disc for finding offsets has to have a confidence of 2, that is the result were submitted by two independant people.
A Logfile is created when ever an offset is found.
Options menu >> Accurate Rip menu (will also tell if a disc is in dB before ripping, and the last accuraterip result).
On Options is a clear offset button to reset the offset of a drive to unconfigured.
First install these two installs:
dMC Release 10 Beta 4:
1.6 MB
AccurateRip dB:
238 KB
=================
Instructions
Insert a disc that is listed below whilst Audio CD Input is running, it should recognise the disc and offer to configure AccurateRip (bear in mind that many of the discs listed below have different pressings, for different countries). If after finding the offsets it reports your drive does not support accurate streaming then you are not able to take part (yet).
Have the drive configured? Please send the file:
C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP\AccurateRip-Offset-log.txt
to dbpoweramp@dbpoweramp.com along with the make of drive.
Next with that recognising disc still in the drive, select the Rip Menu >> Rip to >> Test Conversion (No Write) and rip the CD, make a note of the results. I am interested if it says the disc was not accurately ripped.
After that you can help populate the AccurateRip database (possibly by re-ripping your entire collection!), give each disc a light clean before ripping, if you have two drives you can rip on one drive then 'Test Conversion' on the other drive to see which rips are Accurate.
Supply your rip results by emailling the file:
C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP\AccurateRip\ AccurateRipUpload.bin
to dbpoweramp@dbpoweramp.com
be sure to DELETE this file after emailling.
NOTE in some windows versions explorer cannot display that file (don't know why), so select Start >> Search and type AccurateRipUpload.bin to find that file.

)...I guess for more verification than a possible 2 or 3 pass test scan (which would be a nice option to have right now) we will have to wait for the database to become populated more.
