Perfect Digital Audio Extraction
[ AccurateRip Rippers | AccurateRip Forum] AccurateRip™ furthers Audio CD ripping by verifying ripped tracks against an Internet database, making sure they are error free. AccurateRip™ is the only Audio CD ripping technology which can verify extracted audio files are 100% free from errors, or put another way...no CD/DVD drive exists today which is able to self detect errors 100% of the time (in PCs or CD players), we call this the audio CD error detection hole (and applies to drives with c2 reporting abilities). [details about this hole can be found in the secure ripping guide]. AccurateRip™ is the premier technology for audio extraction, we have a saying 'don't just rip Audio CDs, AccurateRip them'. |
Why?
Conventional CD ripping programs (such as iTunes, or Windows Media Player) do not verify audio, beyond CD drive self verification and as already mentioned there exists no CD/DVD drive which can report all errors. This can lead to potentially speaker damaging spikes being stored in the audio, with no way of knowing if there are errors:
Many CD/DVD drives silence errors (interpolate), leaving sections of 'silence' instead of audio, the audio is sub-quality and not as the studio intended. AccurateRip™ is different, it is able to verify and separate or highlight bad tracks, adding a level of reassurance. The CD with bad tracks can be cleaned, repaired and re-ripped, or replaced. CD ripping is a time consuming process, it is best to do it right and do it once.

Each CD drive reads audio discs
slightly out (a number of samples), if your CD drive supports 'Accurate
Stream' it will be a constant value, this should be the same for
each particular make and model of CD Drive.
