Interpreting Accurate Rip results in DBpoweramp
« on: 14 Mar 2009, 11:03 pm »
I am just starting ot use dbpoweramp for my ripping and tagging, and while certainly not the most friendly program to screen readers, I can manage to use it fairly effectively with little trouble.

The one piece of rip data that I can't seem to find a description of is the number in parentheses following the "accurate rip" status descriptor.  I've seen numbers from 2 to 55, but have no idea what they mean s there doesn't seem to be any real difference in sound quality (mind you, I'm just listening on my computer speakers right now.)

If it really is accurate, this thing is a whole lot faster, easier, and more convenient than EAC.

TIA for any help,

Jim

I love dbpoweramp.  So user friendly.  The number is the amount of other rips that it is comparing your rip to for accuracy.  Put on an obscure CD and you'll get 2 or 3.  Put on something popular and you'll get 200.

Great -- thank you.  That makes sense now.  Glad it wasn't an error percentage or something like that.

So far my collection seems to be pretty obscure :-).
