AccurateRip
As AccurateRip a method is known, which after reading out ( ribs or specific: DAE ) of an audio CD with a CD ripper software compares the results with those of other users. This method can practically ensure that the audio data read is correct. The comparison of the data is determined on the basis of the CRC checksums created by a readout program (e.g. EAC ) . In March 2017, the database of reading results created by users comprised the checksums of around 3.5 million CDs, which were correctly read around 305 million times. The prerequisite is that identical read results are possible on different drives.
The CUETools database (CTDB) develops the concept further: It contains error correction data (180 KiB per CD), which allows the correction of at least up to four incorrectly read sectors, and in many cases more; at best, there are up to 40 incorrectly read sectors. As of March 2017, the CUETools database contained approximately 3.5 million CDs and 22 million rips.
