The Flac CRC is useless for anything other than a statistical purposes. It  
can tell you that 30% of people with that track has that crc, but that's  
hardly a guarantee of a bit-perfect rip. AR works very differently in that  
the db only contains data from unique rips. That way you don't run the  
risk of getting the same data added multiple times and tainting the db.
