Re: Accuraterip

Hi Folks

Thanks for getting back to me with such comprehensive replies.

It's what I suspected but had to check.

Incidently if Accuraterip tells you your rip isn't accurate compared to
their database - is there any point in trying to rip it again to see if the
next go round is better or (due to the state of the CD re scratches etc) is
the 1st rip as good as you're going to get?

Cheers Chux
