I don't know anyone who cares about ripping like we do, so I doubt we've met- but by 'people like us' I only meant audiophiles who consider putting all their music onto disk/disc. EAC was _forced_ on me a long time ago when trading live music (of bands that allow it). It's a shame that it's still needed for the exact reasons it was ten years ago, as you'd think drives really would be perfect by now. By and large they probably are, especially with good discs, but some people take nothing for granted. I was thinking you might be one of them. I have a Sony DVD/RW that does secure mode in 2x, but was given an older TDK recently that does 5x. Ripping and encoding take about the same amount of time and don't interfere with computing whatsoever. I listen to music at the PC using Media Monkey free version, and tag album art when it's convenient. I believe album art aggregator does it in a more batch-like process. If you want to speed your workflow, you can always do burst mode (using TEST AND COPY) in EAC, and rely on the accurate rip database along with close listening to check your rips. There is really no need for two rippers, unless you do indeeed find one that's better with tags.
