When checked, the lack of a pointer will prevent re-reads, thereby speeding up the rip, but possibly allowing errors to slip through, because at that point it is essentially the same as burst mode. ^m In EAC, C2 pointers are only considered if the Secure Mode option "Drive is capable of retrieving C2 error information" is checked.^k Easy Audio Copy's website says CD information is obtained from "various internet sites (for example, from the GD³ database).".^j Easy Audio Copy offers image extraction and cue sheet generation, including gap detection, only when this functionality is enabled via an advanced settings app, downloadable separately (see the FAQ).The effect of each of these options is undocumented, but seems to suggest C2 pointers are used. The CD Reader (drive) configuration allows setting the number of Read Retries (0-15) and Error Correction (None/Software/Hardware). The disc type profiles allow setting Audio Extraction Quality(Bad/Medium/Good/Best), Fast Error Skip (Off/On/Automatic), Intelligent Bad Sector Scanner (enabled/disabled). ^i CloneCD doesn't thoroughly explain its options or re-reading strategy.^h In CloneCD, gaps and indexes are detected only if "Read SubChannel Data from Audio Tracks" is enabled in the Audio CD profile.However, it does write the C2 pointers to a file which can be used by a separate program to interpolate bad samples. ^g PerfectRip uses C2 pointers to know where possible errors are, but it does not re-read it just flags the rip as "not perfect".^f In PerfectRip, offset correction only works if the drive supports overreading.GD3 access is via the bundled GD3 plug-in (registration required for 10 disc trial, purchase of special non-commercial lifetime license available). Discogs access is via the bundled CTDB plug-in only. MusicBrainz access can be via the bundled CTDB plug-in, or via the freedb options with the MusicBrainz-to-freedb gateway. ^e In EAC, freedb access can be direct (via the legacy built-in engine), via the bundled freedb plug-in, or via the bundled CTDB plug-in.^d dBpoweramp is unique in being able to compare metadata from several sources automatically to eliminate erroneous data.^c The EAC-style "Multiple WAV Files With Gaps (Noncompliant)" type will be used in single track mode.Flags are read from TOC only, not subcode. ^b A number of different types CUE sheet types are available.Additional OSes and features not directly related to the ripping process might be supported in other frontends. ^a Cdparanoia, a console application for Unix-like OSes, is one of many frontends to the Paranoia library, libparanoia.Yes (limited – detects but does not add to cue sheet) 2.11 AccurateRip checking across pressings/offsetsĬomparison charts Data acquistion CD ripper.
