I can understand keeping the other tools around just in case problems come up. As far as I can tell dBpowerAmp also has two pass secure mode with AccurateRIP. Besides not being able to remove gaps and having the ability to work with "problematic" CDs... what are the reasons why you "generally" use EAC for ripping? The convinience of saving steps and using a single tool to rip to flac, tag and get my album art is very appealing to me. What do you do about gaps when you use dBpowerAmp?

Is this part of the "Reference" version? I also wish I could get rid of this mass conversions. I'd like one tool where I can select a subset of the tracks on a CD to be ripped in two separate formats... lossless for the SS and lossy for my portable DAP.

I just want to feed my computers CDs and have one application get them ready for the Slimserver and my portable DAP in one pass. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32425 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
