Perfect Digital Audio Extraction

[ AccurateRip Software  |  AccurateRip Key Discs  |  AccurateRip Forum]

AccurateRip.com exists to further the world of Digital Audio Extraction, by:

  • Home of AccurateRip - online database, technical information and compatible programs...
  • List of CD Drive Offsets.

The philosophy behind AccurateRip is quite simple - each time an audio track is ripped (recorded by computer) it is compared with rips from other people, this allows a confidence report to be generated. The report might say that 4 other people had exactly the same results, this would guarantee your rip was without error, or the report could say that 3 other people disagree with your rip, the likely hood is that your CD has a scratch and should be cleaned.

What is the Point?

It gives a confidence when storing your CD collection onto computer that the resulting audio files are free from error, without having to listen manually to each track. You may have heard of 'C2' or 'Secure' ripping, whilst these help obtain error free rips, they do not have 100% error detection.

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.
