Well, that is disabled when I use the LAME external compression program. When I choose the encoder on the Waveform tab, I don't get an MP3, I just get a WAV file (a nice small one, but a WAV file, nonetheless). I can't seem to get it to produce a small MP3 file using the external compression library, and I can't seem to do anything with WAV files produced using the options on the Waveform tab. I guess I'm fundamentally misunderstanding the process. > Yes, EAC is more complicated than the rest.

The only one I trust is EAC. I simply can't get it to work. It doesn't make small enough files. And it keeps losing track of my CD drive -- that is, I'll do one batch and when it finishes, if I try to do another batch, it can't read from the drive. Autodetect doesn't work, so I end up having to shut down and restart. I've never had the slightest problem with this with any of my audio or CD writing programs before. -- David W.
