PMW vs EAC for Ripping
BrianKW:
Hello,
Does anyone know which one is more accurate for archiving my CD collection?
I want to put my CDs on an external drive to access them for my Pono and store my CDs away.

My response will mismatch your query. I prefer to use XLD, Max, or lately dBpoweramp for Mac (or Windows if necessary) instead of PMW (nothing personal Pono people). Never used EAC, so I can not comment. I also prefer AIFF to FLAC. So I may not be persuasive about anything I offer except to comment that I enjoy my CD rips to my custom NY Limited Chrome Pono Player and from my external Promise Pegasus Raid 5 R6 12TB to Mac Mini via Amarra Symphony with iRC or HQPlayer 3.7.1. At least my perspective opens up possibilities (Smile).
Enjoy the music,
Richard

There is no advantage to using another ripper. PMW will do it as well as any. But others should also work.

Does PMW use the AccurateRip or a similar database to verify that the CD rips are 100% accurate?
If not, than XLD or EAC with AccurateRip is definitely an advantage. Even if both are equally successful, knowing if you got a perfect rip or not is very important (as cleaning the disc, etc. might yield improvement).

Great question as I agree.
AccurateRip ensures you get the Rip the majority have gotten...no?
