Not necessarily. If you've set up EAC correctly and there are no extracting problems you get exactly the same wav file (and hence the same fingerprint). But you're right, if you want to be sure archive APEs/SHNs/FLACs as data to preserve the original fileset.
Yeah, you have to correct the write offset on the burn and correct the read offset on the extraction, and the original fileset can't have any SBE's or header errors in order for it to work. Or correct the combined read/write offset on CDs that haven't been burned with the write offset corrected, and then do the extraction. I figured that might be too much info for a novice though, and would require a complex explanation on how to do it.
