AccurateRip - how many matches?

I think it maxes out at 200, if you have 200 indentical rips I’d imagine statistically one is pretty assured of accuracy. 

I’m noticing some newer albums have no match at all, an indication perhaps of how few CDs are being sold.

Yep its 200 max,  but think about it,  2 matches is enough;  considering the millions of 0's & 1's on a CD to get 2 to match & then match to yours,  I'd say its a pretty good perfect match.   

Purely as an aside.  After moving to mac from pc a couple of year ago, I transferred my dBpoweramp to the mac.   Now it no longer submits data to the accurate rip database.  Why?

Also, sometimes the database must get it wrong, because it sometimes comes up as inaccurate, but I can rip securely anyway.  Must be different masters, I suppose.

Have you tried a manual update from DBPoweramp to the AcurateRip database?

I've ripped quite a few CD that weren't in the AcurateRip database.  DBPoweramp then rips and reports secure rather than accurate.  Sometimes there's a different version of a CD in the AcurateRip database, so the result is apparently inaccurate when compared to the data in the database, yet the CRC still checks the ripped data as 'secure'  If someone else later gets the same CRC values they'll then see Accurate (1), due to your values now stored in the database (if you do the update).

It could be your DVD drive is not on the AccurateRip database.   My remote Dell drive is not & will not get accepted,  something to do with offset.   Whereas my old Samsung drive,  with its case held together with tape,   is accepted.    But I'm really not bothered,  with the very few CD rips I do these days I'm more than happy with the dBpoweramp 'Secure' rip verification,  it goes over each track numbers of times & its slower than AccurateRip,  but I'm satisfied its a very accurate copy of the CD.

I have 2 DVD drives.  One is the standard Apple, which I have GREAT difficulty believing would not be in their database, the other is an LG drive which I keep in the cupboard for when. come across one of those annoying CDs which don’t seem to rip at all (usually Warner Brothers).  I know that one is on the database because Inused to use it with dBpoweramp on a Indows laptop.

Incidentally, how DO I do a manual accurate rip upload?

Have you tried asking over at dbPowerAmp forums... surely a better place to get advise on this?

(Though if you get a solution please do come and tell us!)

Haven't actually asked the question on the dbPoweramp forums, but I have checked previous postings on this topic there.   AFAICT they are still trying to sort the problem out.

Under Windows it seems you can take almost any drive, and get it to do the offset checks and these will be uploaded and the drive becomes usable for Accuraterip uploads.  With macs, this option is not available, and the drive will only submit to the database if it is in Accuraterip's list of 'compatible' drives.  Checked this list yesterday, and my LG drive and my Apple drive are both in that database, although Apple drives are listed as LG drives, so I took the model number from that reported by CD Ripper.

I ripped 3 CDs yesterday (a Toots Thielemans box set), and tried it with both my Apple drive and my LG drive.  Still unable to upload accuraterip data from either dri

Doesn't stop me using dBpoweramp, as the rips are still reported as accurate.  Just annoying not to be able to share my data.

Click <Options>

On Options Dialogue box

Under AccurateRip section
Last item is "Send Results to Online Database":   the [Submit] button is on the right.

But that's the problem.  I never see that dialogue on the Mac version.  I'm familiar with it, of course, from my previous use of the Windoze version, but believe me, it's not there on my mac, probably because for some reason dBPoweramp/mac on my iMac always reports my DVD drives as 'unconfigured', with no way to configure them.

I have the same 'unconfigured' problem with my Windows-10 using a remote Dell (Matshita) DVD drive, but its OK with an old semi wrecked Samsung.  This tells me this is not a dBpoweramp/Mac issue,  It might be worth posting dBpoweramp (Illustrate) a question on their forum. 

Re my Dell drive issue:  I use dBpoweramp 'Secure' rip that has 3 verification passes, I'm more than happy that the copy is 100%.   

The Apple version of AccurateRip does not submit to the database.

There you go Dungassin,  the answer straight from the man himself.

Thank for the reply, sir.  Now I know why it doesn't work.
