That's interesting, as I use Exact Audio Copy with Accurate Rip, which actually compares my rips to other user's rips to ensure it was done properly. This means that I have FLAC files that would compare to other user's; sans the differences in Metadata.
- pyre 15y agoWell, when the BSA^wRIAA auditors come to your door, you'll just have to show them your CD collection! If you don't have any pirated material, then you have nothing to hide!
- RexRollman 15y agoI actually no longer keep CDs. Since no one sells lossless music, aside from mostly indie artists, I purchase used CDs, which I then rip and throw away (Amazon is a great source for used CDs, by the way). I like having lots of music, and paying for it, but I am not a fan of owning a physical CDs.

- Arelius 15y agoBut in theory, if you are using the same version of the encoder, with the same settings, it should be pretty easy to end up with a bit identical compressed copy also, at least easy enough that it happens occasionally.
