Nearly all my inaccurate rips are down to the manufacturing process and poor quality control and implementation of the Audio CD Red Book Standard. In my opinion, this responsibility lies with the record labels.
However, in my discussions with a couple of record labels over errors in CD pressings, some have replaced the CD in question while others have argued that these errors fall within the standards set and are unavoidable. When played in a CD player, error correction and interpolation is (nearly always) able to hide CD read errors from the listener. This is how it has been since the 1980's and the introduction of the Audio CD and CD player.
CDRipper is attempting to read the data, bit perfect and save the data to hard disk. However, by re-ripping frames, discovering frame errors and ultimately inaccurate rips, CDRipper highlights CDs with errors.
So, I would like to see an implementation in CDRipper that when a rip is unable to read frames, CDRipper is able to fix the frame errors by accessing the now large audio database available to Ilustrate.
This would not mean downloading tracks and infringing copyright laws etc. but allowing a few bytes to be accessed to fix frame errors. I am not completely au fait with copyright law but I believe this proposal to be reasonable.
