Tracklist verification

1. Use an authoritative discography source (Discogs or official releases) to confirm the exact tracklist and release identifiers (catalog number, barcode).
2. Compare CD track timings with your rip to ensure order and completeness.

• Definition: EAC is a CD ripping program widely considered the industry standard for precise audio extraction.
• Process: EAC uses a specialized "Secure Mode" to read and re-read sectors of the disc. If it encounters a scratch or error, it attempts to correct it multiple times rather than simply skipping or interpolating the audio.
• Outcome: An "EAC rip" guarantees that the resulting FLAC file is a verified, bit-perfect clone of the CD source.
