1. before ripping check to see if the disc is a cd-r or if the disc is already in the collection (by CD TOC) and if so skip the disc
2. separate discs into accurate directory when the whole disc (all tracks) is accurately/securely ripped, and an in-accurate directory for discs that have 1 or more insecure tracks
3. if a disc is cleaned, or different copy of the disc is ripped that is in the inaccurate directory, only tracks that are inaccurate are re-ripped, once all tracks are accurate, dBpoweramp moves the album to the accurate directory
Also, I know dBpoweramp is not allowed to cache the meta-data, but spoon has said that he would be able to write the meta-data to a txt file and put it in the album directory. This would be available for when re-ripping inaccurate discs without paying to look up the data again. Also, it could be used in a future meta-data editor, especially if the meta data from each provider were stored separately.
