I think that at least one of the paid-for flavours of dbpoweramp includes GD3 metadata lookup (along with two or three others) anyway so there's probably no need for a two pass solution.

I guess that GD3 with a robot may be a good option then for ripping hundreds of CDs where you don't want much user interaction and aren't too bothered about verifying the correctness of the results.

Hi, your two articles on CD ripping are interesting but they both seem to skip what is likely to be the main issue for picky audiophiles ripping CDs, i.e. have you got a bit perfect rip? Accuraterip (in e.g. EAC or dbPoweramp) is the only real way of verifying this that I've found by having online databases of album hashes. Does GD3 do this also? i.e. is it more accurate aswell as being more convenient?
