AccurateRip compares your track’s checksum with database records for the same CD.

ResultMeaningWhat to do
Accurately ripped (confidence …)The track matches a confirmed database record.Save the log with the audio files.
Cannot be verified as accurateThe track checksums differ from the available confirmed records.Check drive setup and the disc, then try the track again or use another drive.
Track not present in AccurateRip databaseNo record was found for the disc or track.Use the read and file results to assess this copy.
AccurateRip: UnavailableThe lookup or data file could not be read.Check the reported error, then retry online or load a saved AccurateRip data file.
AccurateRip: IncompleteAudio needed for the check is missing, or a matching record has zero confirmations.Retry for missing audio. For zero confirmations, check for updated database records.
AccurateRip: Not runAccurateRip verification was disabled.Enable AccurateRip in the extraction dialog to check the next copy.

For a failed read, inspect the disc and copy the affected track again. If it keeps failing, try another drive. See Drive and extraction problems.

For an AccurateRip mismatch, check the drive’s offset correction and test other discs. Different pressings of an album can have different checksums.
