The frustrating thing about AccurateRip is that several open source apps can pull down from it to compare your local rip, but IIRC the only app that is allowed to push rips back up to the AccurateRip DB (and hence make it more "accurate") is the proprietary, Windows-only EAC.

That’s a feature. The value of AccurateRip comes from the accuracy of data submitted to it.

Tightly controlling how data can be submitted allows that accuracy to be maintained.
