PMW vs EAC for Ripping

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).

My recommendations use AccurateRip. Not sure if PMW does. I think it does not but JimH should be able to provide a definitive answer. If I am wrong, apologize in advance.
Best,
Richard

Cheers, Richard.
I'd try dBpoweramp for Windows but I believe you have to pay for it.

Accuraterip isn't needed for modern drives. If you're doubtful about quality, use Secure Rip.

Isn't Securerip only within dB?
Why pay for what EAC and Accu can do?

No, (most) modern ripping software including Pono Music World, JRiver Media Center, Exact Audio Copy, XLD, dBpoweramp, etc. all have secure ripping as an option. AccurateRip was useful back in the days when drives were unreliable but if you use secure ripping you shouldn't need AccurateRip. Read this for more information on secure ripping.
