In the more general case, do you know anything about the procedure that are used to keep questionable albums (i.e., something from a CDR) from being submitted and approved at the Accuraterip database?
Best thing is to ask the developer, he knows better than anybody else but there are things he will not share.

As the thread above implies, AccurateRip does not do verification of media "officialness" (practically speaking, they can't anyway). Anyone can submit a self-created CD.

The most they can do is filter out suspicious entries such as submissions from virtual drives or misconfigured offsets.
I think he meant another thing, self-created CD's will not be listed. I did many tests and it never did. The best thing to do is test it yourself. Pressed CD's are different, companies pay millions for their system.
