Ripper Speed Comparison Test.
AccurateRip compares your rip with the results from other people, if AccurateRip says your rip is error free, it is. dBpoweramp is able to obtain previously un-achievable levels of error recovery, through re-reading, c2 pointers and AccurateRip
(cross pressing verification). Illustrate invested huge resources redesigning how
Secure Rippers Function.
In short, don't just rip your CDs,
AccurateRip them.
