@maddy @airy accurately ripping cds on unix platforms has been a dismal proposition for over a decade since i’ve been trying to cobble together a home-grown solution to the problem:

• cdparanoia does correctly identify issues at rip time but its error recovery mechanisms can reproducibly return the same incorrect checksums in some cases. this means that the approach of tools like rubyripper which simply rip twice and check for matching checksums may nevertheless fail an accuraterip check.
• speaking of accuraterip, there have been few solutions for actually hitting that database from linux. for the longest time the only option was a command-line tool posted on hydrogenaudio.
• the situation appears to have improved somewhat of late, as there is now reportedly a tool (rip rip hooray) which claims to integrate both accuraterip and ctdb support (the latter of which has never had linux support before to the best of my knowledge). i can’t speak to the quality of the software though as i haven’t tried it yet.
• the only other option i could think of is to try running eac inside wine, but i can’t speak to how well that works either, as i’ve mostly fallen back to running it on windows machines when i need to trust it
