Yes, I have seen this discussed elsewhere as well. I thought the OP's question was a good one - how to get those bits off the CD onto the the HD with the minimum of errors. I suspect the answer is mainly about using EAC or equivalent because getting the bits off the CD is the difficult part, and I wanted to discourage concern about CODECS and computer interfaces. Once some bits have been obtained, with or without errors, then their integrity will be maintained because I assume that the people who designed FLAC or WAVE, or whichever lossless CODEC, were competent enough to ensure bits in = bits out. Surely this is the case? Also I know that I can save a computer file on, say, a memory stick and then move it back to my hard disk and the file will work (usually!), so it must be bit perfect. I think that after a quarter of a century of heavy duty use in industry and commerce we can assume that computers handle music files without corrupting them because they don't corrupt the databases and other files that banks and and pretty well all other industries habitually manipulate on computers. My point here is that music files are to a computer just a file, like a .JPG or .EXE. A music file may be special to an audiophile, but not to a computer, and computers don't corrupt files.
