PerfectTUNES AccurateRip

What exactly is AccurateRip comparing from the DB?
Just track length?

No, it is comparing file content (audio data).

funny things is.. what I bought from the digital store
AccurateRip says it is inaccurate.
So, the comparing standard must not be from recording companies?

Or the tracks have never appeared in that form on CD. AccurateRip is for verifying audio CDs which have been ripped. It is true that some tracks you can purchase from record companies were actually ripped from audio CDs, but not all.

What rippings are considered to be accurate? By what standard?
Is there someone sending their ripping info to them with EAC log or something?
I'm just really curious.

The fact that your rip matches someone else's rip, this classes it as accurate, because a damaged scratch CD would not have the identical same damage on 2 CDs.

CD would not, but rippings can be copied and downloaded many times.
Does AccurateRip analyse the errors on the rip?
