I went through the process of configuring EAC with flac, which I found fairly difficult and time consuming, even though I followed the tutorials, but I am old(ish)! I used it successfully for a while until I saw dBPowerAMP Music Converter recommended on this forum.
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ I installed this and found that, like EAC, it uses AccurateRip to configure the read offset of your CD/DVD drive, which is important I feel. The program is quick, it takes 3 min to rip and convert Beethoven 9th, for example. Tags and flac compression level can be set up, and it can also rip to Monkeys Audio, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WAVE and WMA v9.1. If you want to rip to MP3 you have to register and pay GBP9.91 (US$16.45), but for this you obtain an improved GUI, which allows you to play the cd or individual tracks as well, prior to ripping. I find it is easy and straightforward to use. -- afblaster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ afblaster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1643 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18707 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
