1 out of 3!

Before everyone switches to WAV, that's  1 out of 3 hard drives I had
failing - no problem with the FLAC format itself.  I actually managed
to recover the FLAC's and knew that I had not lost anything by
verifying them against their internal fingerprints (MD5's).  Something
I wouldn't have been able to do with WAV's unless I'd kept a seperate
checksum/SFV file,  and that would have been a lot of trouble seeing as
many had been renamed and moved to different folders since the initial
rip.

There is a difference.  Going to the trouble/time/expense of keeping a
lossless collection and not using EAC is like drinking Johnnie Walker
Blue Label and mixing it with coke.
