I've often though about this and think MusicBrainz really would be a
good place to add checksum information. AccurateRip is proprietary and
can only be used in the applications that the author approves of,
which is completely b0rked. By adding checksums to discids it should
be possible to verify rips both when ripping and after the fact, which
I think is of great value for any bit-perfectionist. Technically it
doesn't seem much more difficult than storing PUIDs, but obviously it
would take someone to implement it on the server side.

good place to add checksum information. AccurateRip is proprietary and
can only be used in the applications that the author approves of,
which is completely b0rked. By adding checksums to discids it should
be possible to verify rips both when ripping and after the fact, which
I think is of great value for any bit-perfectionist. Technically it
doesn't seem much more difficult than storing PUIDs, but obviously it
would take someone to implement it on the server side.
