If you get a report that your rip doesn't match the information in the
Accuraterip database *for every track on the disc*, it's likely that you
have a different mastering of the original recording than the one the
Accuraterip data was based on. If the recording was remastered—changing
equalization, compression, or other characteristics—but the track lengths
are identical, the two versions of the disc will match in Accuraterip (or
in Gracenote), while the audio data extracted from them will not match at
all. Only if you see a mismatch at only one or a few points should you try
re-ripping, and you're right that your rip might be the correct one
(especially if EAC didn't report any errors).
