I could be wrong here, but from I understand the track quality percentage is not actually a measure of the accurateness (I have no idea if that is actually a word or not, but I'm going with it) of the extracted track. I believe that it is actually a representation of the physical quality of that track on the disc (it is a measure of how many rereads EAC must do to get an exact copy). As long as there are no errors reported on the track, it is an exact copy of the track. I forget where I read this, but it was either at the Coaster Factory or at the EAC forums. This explains why you can rip a brand new CD that you just took out of the wrapper and note get 100% on all tracks.
