I looked around the forums here and at hydrogenaudio and couldnt find quite what I was looking for. I have maybe a hundred cds that I have started to rip to flac files with eac. I havent had an mp3 player in quite some time so my cds have seen pretty extensive use. I try to take very good care of them but some are just worn. Not worn enough that they wont play but worn enough that eac has a pain ripping them. I just spent about 3.5hrs trying to rip 4 tracks off a cd that took like 7hrs last night and still couldnt get them. I was hoping that for some of my cds that are a little older and have decent wear I could torrent the flac files, but I want them to be as perfect as possible for the archive im starting. I dont have the money to rebuy these cds and some of them are the third or fourth legal copy i have owned over the years due to them being stolen or unplayable. Since I wanted to download some of the files I have been looking for a way to check there accuracy with something like AccurateRip. I have downloaded audiotester 1.6 and the file integrity verifier for foobar. I installed the foobar addon...but dont know how to get it to work, and with audiotester there is no info for using it so i dont know if it will actually tell me if the flac files are just upconverted mp3 or bad rips or something.
File integrity verifier says it can compare to accuraterip but I dont know how to use it...I do know it is installed correctly though.
On a side note, on the stuff that I have ripped to flac, foobar doesnt want to show the album artwork when I play the files. Not sure why that is. It will show the artwork on mp3s that I have.
Thank you for any help guys.
Edit: I figured out how to use File integrity verifier but sometimes it says that tracks that according to eac and accuraterip are right, are not even in the database. Is it outdated or something then? It will say half of a cd isnt in the database and the other half is accurate. What gives?
