Secure Rip Torrents: Jeff Buckley - Grace

After a long hiatus, I'm back. I'll no longer trouble you with my opinions. Instead, I'll share something some of you may find useful.

If you've read my previous posts, you should know I am fanatical when it comes to quality CD ripping. I'm also a cheap-assed torrent pirate. Arrh.

For me, there is nothing better than ripping a CD yourself with a secure ripper like EAC. The next best thing is downloading a torrent ripped with EAC.

How does one know for sure it was ripped with EAC? Here are some signs:
1. The torrent is labeled or has a comment or the files themselves are tagged indicating EAC was used to rip.
2. There is an EAC log included with the tracks.

Of course these are no guarantees. They can easily be faked. Also anyone can securely rip burned unsecure copies. Still, they're free so who am I to complain?

First up is... Jeff Buckley's Grace. This torrent is ripped into one file per disc with cuesheets. The EAC log is included. Enjoy. Download .torrent

UPDATE:
This torrent just got even better. With fooaccrip, I just found out this torrent is verified by AccurateRip. This means 2 things: this rip matches other rips by different people with different copies of the CD and ripped with different PCs.
