Both log files show "Accurately ripped (confidence 25)", with two tracks having a confidence of 26 and two of 24. I have no idea what the scale for confidence is. Interestingly, the times for most tracks are different from each other by a second or two and both are different from what is on the CD jacket.

The confidence is number of matches in database found. That means 26 people got exactly (no pun intended) the same checksum.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
