Damn me for taking a couple of years to find it out while using merely cdparanoia.
Lucky me for procrastinating the big rip job until I couldn't miss AccurateRip's existence.

The big part was before cross-pressing verification, and a quick search among my CD rips gives some stats:
53 percent were verified upon ripping
35 percent have been retro-verified afterwards. Some of them because a new submission showed up, some because the cross-pressing.
8 percent got no matches. I probably re-checked them a year or so ago. Most of those are promos and demos, many of which are CD-R, so that is likely above the average user. So is this:
4 percent were ripped with errors (including damages wrecking a whole track) - or at least are tagged as suspicious. A lot of those acquired second-hand (so I got pressings before the loudness war remasters. Which includes some pre-emphasis, but I digress.)

Happy birthday!

AccurateRip is fantastic idea, and proficiently operated, indeed. I never had issues with it. Thank you for this. I especially impressed how the checksums can detect offsets.

Hi, I found a work-around related to "Unable to open item for playback (Youtube Source: Analysis, no video found on Youtube URL):".

I can make the track live again by clearing the cache. View > Youtube Source > Analysis Cache > Wipe Cache.

Hope this help and not repeat with previous post.

How do you customize folder structure with qBT? Didn't know that was possible and it would be useful for the occasional torrent where the uploader chose an [Artist name]/[Torrent name]/[Albums] structure instead of the usual [Torrent name]/[Albums] one.

Without problem.
If the torrent is already downloaded, you can move it to another folder or rename the files or folders inside it and continue to seed.
If it is a new torrent if you set torrent managing to manual, it opens a window that gives you a lot of options to select where it will be saved and how (renaming, make a folder, doesn't create a folder, etc)
also you can set various additional download folders (called categories) to music, movies, tv shows...
And if the page have an RSS, automatize the download with filters.
One thing that I like is that the program make a difference between the name of the torrent and the folders that create. So you can have the original name XXX-repack-group-page and rename the folder that create to Artist - Year - Album for example.
It not as advanced as foobar2000 (you can't script with tags) but with a little of planification you can have a very clean folder structure that can be used with foobar2000 and kodi, if you don't modify the files with these programs of course. If you rename or tag the files with foobar the torrent will not work anymore. In kodi is not a problem because it uses .nfo files and in foobar you can use external tag plugin to avoid file modification.
For Kodi for example.
I have two categories Movies and TV-Shows that points to the folders that kodi needs.
For TV shows I made folders like tv-show (year)
To download the episodes as they was aired a Sesion folder inside.
then when i download one new is as easy as select the tv-show category, the show folder and the session folder and they are ready to be read by kodi.
If it is a entire season i select the show folder and then i rename the torrent folder to the corresponding session and ready.
Once you have this routine, (two-three clicks per torrent) you have all files ready to run kodi and scrap all the info (posters, titles, actors, etc) and at the same time continue to seed the torrent and preserve the original name to know where you download it from or to search the correct subtitles, etc
for foobar2000 the same but more easy because you only need to point the download to the artist album folder and rename the torent folder to year - album

Nevermind, the problem seems to depend on the wineprefix after all. I don't know what part of it is at fault, but it's definitely not due to foobar2000. Thread can be closed I suppose.

Edit: It was the Windows version selected in winecfg.  ::)
Win7 breaks tagging. Win10 doesn't. God knows why.
