As one of the other links explains, ripping the same CD on the same drive a 100 time might still not produce the correct rip. Something like AccurateRip works by having multiple copies of the CD scanned, and then voting which one is the correct version.

I forgot that CTDB (http://db.cuetools.net/) exists, which is is an alternative to AccurateRip. CUETools is open source Windows software to rip CDs. Instead of just providing a checksum of the track, it provides error correction information. So instead of just getting that you probably have a bad rip, and keep getting a bad rip, it's possible to correct the rip. EAC has a CTDB plugin that's installed by default, whipper currently doesn't support it.

AccurateRip is not something from EAC, it's from dbpoweramp.
