Probably very old info, but I didn't bump into this until I upgraded my workstation and tried to find new versions of, well, everything.
The non-ancient version of CUETools http://www.cuetools.net not only can produce CUE files, but can check your past rips to see if they're in the Accurate Rip db, and, if so, whether yours match. If you have it re-encode the tracks, it'll put the accurip info in tags as well as produce a report. Tags look just like the ones produced by the dbPoweramp ripper, if you have AccuRip turned on
I ripped a lot of CDs to lossless before discovering AccurateRip; I've been using this to check old rips that don't sound quite right. Way seriously faster then re-ripping.
Apologies if you already know this; thought I'd help any dinosaurs (like myself) out there...

CUETools can do an AccurateRip check of your old rips

Good info. Perfecttunes (by dbpa developer) and foobar2000 with file verify component can also do this.

This is actually great info. I just did a mass rip of all of my CDs (500 or so using a changer) and I'm now not sure that I was reading the accuracy percentage (or whatever) correctly.
Out of curiosity, how does this work? Does it actually do some sort of accousticID or fingerprint analysis on your files and then compare to the accuraterip?

I'm pretty sure that PerfectTunes is doing some sort of fingerprint analysis....

In EAC the accuracy percentage is basically meaningless. Originally Posted by spedinfargo

I'm pretty sure AccurareRip is using some sort of CRC (cyclic redundancy check), not just length.

That's how it checks for accuracy matches once it's identified the track. Originally Posted by bobkoure
