a). You don't. Accuraterip does not concern itself with artists, titles, etc. For a newly released CD, you need to wait for Spoon to update the new database with new submissions before a newly...

If you go to your Registration Retrieval page from your original purchase there will be a loyalty offer for 50% off PerfectTUNES.

PerfectTUNES (paid) or CUETools (free) will let you compare previously ripped files CRC against the AccurateRip database.

I have the same model (Samsung SE-506CB/RSWD) and the drive has been fantastic from CDs to Blu-rays.

It is best to just have a couple of cheap drives for those troublesome discs - there is no one...

Windows Media Player also had a checkbox on a per drive basis for ripping called 'Use error correction'. Made the rip time a lot longer so was probably re-reading frames.

I believe GraceNote only license if all other database providers are dropped.

I much prefer having more choice amongst database providers than just one.

Just look in the resultant log file. Under Track Technical it will show HDCD for any track that is HDCD.

I have had this with a few CDs in my drive. Have you tried putting a book underneath the unit?

By far the easiest way (if you have foobar 2000) is to select all the files and right-click Utilities and then Optimize file layout.

You can even save more space by using Optimize file layout +...

If you have been using the same drive for EAC successfully, then I would say it is likely to be a scratched or damaged CD, as that is too many frames to attempt to re-rip under normal circumstances....

That is strange. Does your drive not support C2, as I see it disabled in the log?

My understanding is you would not get these multiple passes if C2 is enabled as errors would be identified via the...

Yes that is the confidence rating, where 200 is the highest / max reported number. However, even a confidence rating of 1 or 2 is fine and you will find on those more obscure CDs and pressings. Are...

It sounds like AccurateRip is all setup correctly. Just rip a CD from your collection and if AccurateRip reports success on all the tracks you are good to go. I believe an offset of +6 is very common...

Use Mp3tag if you want to store the original high quality album art untouched - simple drag-and-drop operation.

External drives are fine and them not being as good as internal drives is a bit of a misnomer. Clearly early CD ripping tools were designed to work on traditional IDE / SCSI interfaces and buses, but...

OK so on a quick look I found two logs that exhibit the same behaviour you describe on tracks 1 and 3.

Here is the original log from: dBpoweramp Release 17 BETA 6 Digital Audio Extraction Log from...

I would download and use Mp3tag. Drag the folder containing the music files for the one CD into Mp3tag and then on the left of the screen is a box for album art. Highlight all the tracks and then...

Yes, I do not have a pre-emphasis CD to check, but it is worth adding the Track Technical column in CD Ripper and you will see this information pre-rip. Regardless, the log file will still contain...

I asked this a while back and the log file will reflect any de-emphasis - see quote from Spoon below.



The log file will also reflect HDCD - take a look at the extract below from a recent CD I...

I starting re-ripping my whole collection again since February 2020 and I am still going. Previous rips were done using .WMA Lossless in Windows Media Player over the last decade.

Anyway, I did...

I have checked some more logs (recent) and found CDs I ripped that have gone from a confidence of 1 to 2 so that's good.

However, some have remained the same which is what prompted my original...

Just wondering does the update take a very long time given the size of the database?

I am asking as I have submitted a number of entries in the last few months and was using the PerfectTunes...

That is correct. A while back I compared production of a .CUE file with a few CDs with dBpoweramp vs. EAC and the results were quite different with the EAC .CUE containing more information and being...

If you want them, I would still use EAC for generating non-compliant .CUE files. This will enable an exact replica of the original CD to be burnt if needed. dBpoweramp will not produce the equivalent...

I think I had a similar issue with a disc yesterday. The results I got were:

X AR (7) Y Secure
X AR (7) Y Secure
X AR (6) Y Secure
X AR (6) Y Secure

Given this happened on every single track...
