Maximum bitrate for atrac3plus on the HD5 is 256kbps. I tried for a long time to play 352kbps on the HD5 and nothing worked.

BTW, why no one bother to implement AccurateRip other than EAC and dBpoweramp? IMHO its one of the best ideas. I read about cdparanoia but without the collective knowledge from AccurateRip how can you be sure?

I re-ripped my entire CD collection with dbpoweramp's secure mode and AcurateRip enabled. The secure mode just isn't enough. I had a few japanese imports in my collection and using AccurateRip I found out two of them were Taiwan bootlegs! Man, I was
pissed (paid full price)! Secure mode would just tell me that the files were ripped correctly. It was AccurateRip that told me my rip was different to 12 other people.
I bought the CDs again from a more reputable dealer, re-ripped them and confirmed they were genuine with AccurateRip. I also compared the waveforms of the fakes to the originals and there
was a diference!
I couldn't hear it but I
felt a lot better...
