Bingo!  Nero is a great example, it's never worked for me from the
get-go.  Same with ZoneAlarm, I used to like it but when they started
bundling anything and everything with it, it started getting unstable
for me.

Core competency - let programs do what they do best and don't combine
them.  EAC's core competency is ripping.  SlimServer's is serving audio
to Squeezeboxes.

Do not put ripping functionality in SlimServer - it'll never be as good
as EAC and you just end up increasing the bloat and instability.  Same
with tagging - the SlimServer development team couldn't hope to come up
with something as good as Mp3tag.  Nor should they, concentrate work on
where it is needed,
