I suggest if you want a detailed ins-and-outs look at why EAC is the best ripper around then you go look on Hydrogenaudio forums. There is -very- detailed discussion about what it does and does not do and why it is/is not better than other rippers.
I completely agree that there is mumbo jumbo and I did not say that you won't get perfect rips with other programs. I'm just saying that if you want to be -sure- that you got a perfect rip, then EAC is as good as there is. EAC isn't for everyone. As I mentioned, its reasonably complex to setup properly. As someoelse mentioned, once its all setup and your profiles are saved... its a breeze. Munge, try another CD to see if it works. If EACs error checking bothers you use another ripper. Any time you use a program that rips to WAV without then passing its metadata data to FLAC is going to lose all of your metadata information (which you definitely want). The WAV file format does not contain metadata. I'm not sure how iTunes works with FlacFrontEnd but I'd bet that the tags will be lost. ss. -- street_samurai _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
