Rip Status " Not in AccurateRip" database

[dave4jazz]

I recently upgraded from R14 to R15 and have ripped quite a few CD's to ALAC format. However, only a couple have shown to be in the AccurateRip database. Last night I re-ripped a CD in FLAC that I had previously ripped in FLAC, the metadata showed it was in the database (count 15) but this time it showed no matches. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I heard of this not too long ago, which security software / anti malware / anti phishing software do you run?

[dave4jazz]

Windows 8.1 built-in.

I have just re-ripped Paul Simon's Graceland (1986) CD in both Apple Lossless and FLAC with the same result "Not in AccurateRip". Surely others must have ripped this CD.

Try uninstalling dBpoweramp then reinstall latest version.

[dave4jazz]

Re-installed latest version. No change ripping in either in Apple Lossless or FLAC.

On the Windows 8.1 computer you can browse the site www.accuraterip.com?

OK so how do you configure AccurateRip if it doesn't respond to a CD being inserted?

FIO I have checked the Windows 8.1 firewall and PrefectTunes AccurateRip, Album Art, Control Center and De-Dup apps are all selected for Private and Public.

You would need CDRipper.exe in the firewall. The programs you mention are PerfectTUNES not part of dBpoweramp.

[dave4jazz]

Configure dbpoweramp and CD Ripper are now open in the firewall. No change in ripping process.
Also, you may like to note I have had 5 Cygwin errors reported. Means nothing to me.

Does PerfectTUNES AccurateRip work (on your existing files)?

CygWin is used by linux programs which are ported to Windows, it helps them run, dBpoweramp does not use Cygwin.

[QUOTE=Spoon;145805]Does PerfectTUNES AccurateRip work (on your existing files)?

I have run PerfectTUNES with the following results:

8 tracks corrupted (these were podcasts and iTunes media files)
2 albums with ripping errors
56 albums accurately ripped
51 cannot be checked
109 Total Albums

I should add not all my albums, circa. 500+, have been ripped using dbpoweramp Ripper.

Note: Not sure which folder PerfectTUNES was looking at in the above. I am now re-running the program looking at my main music folder.

5 albums with ripping errors
41 albums accurately ripped
1 albums not in database

Have a look at the programs installed on your system, make sure the only security software is Windows Defender.

I have McAfee Security Scan Plus and McAfee SiteAdvisor installed. Should I uninstall them?

[Spoon]

If you not use them yes.
