No ripper in Linux I've found so far has implemented secure ripping behaviour like in Exact Audio Copy. EAC rips each track two times and compares crc values to see if a track is ripped correctly.

I'm sure an option to do so in Kaudiocreator will be appreciated by many audio-enthusiasts. It seems to me this can be easily done with a SHA/MD5 algorithm. In fact I already wrote such an application myself in Ruby.

The thing is that messing with freedb didn't proved to be that simple. Besides this, I like all the functionality that is already in Kaudiocreator :)

I'll post my Ruby function for making and comparing the digests. I'm sure that C++ will take some more effort, but maybe it'll help anyway:

require 'digests/sha1'
def digest(tracknumber)
 digest1 = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(File.read("out1.wav"))
 digest2 = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(File.read("out2.wav"))
 puts "The digest for 1st rip is #{digest1}"
 puts "The digest for 2nd rip is #{digest2}"
 if digest1 == digest2
  puts "Track #{tracknumber} is succesfully ripped"
 else
  puts "Track #{tracknumber} probably has errors."
 end
end
