dBpoweramp Accu-rip, trust it or not?

Posted by Rod M on August 2, 2011 at 17:02:38:
I'm ripping 300 CDs from an old jukebox and most rip perfectly. A few or them will have a track or two that comes up Inaccurate, so I click off the good tracks and rip again. Typically, the tracks will get the Accurate rip label the second or third time.

Other ones don't. So I've been doing 3 strikes and you're out. And then there are some CDs that the whole CD comes up as Inaccurate. Often, those have only a few to compare. Others like one I'm doing now show 12 ans 13 which I'd guess are the number in their db. Those ones never seem to get better with multiple tries.

The question is whether or not to trust those results from dBpoweramp? In my old OCD days, I'd probably would have cleaned the CDs, painted them with green pens and retried 14 times. Then I'd re-rip with EAC, just in case.

Now, with more 300 to go, I just move on. I just wonder what others are seeing.
