I prefer using EAC with this process:

EAC secure mode w/ log and non-compliant CUE -> WAV ->per-track FLAC with
album ReplayGain enabled, sectors aligned.
Ease of play is nice on a per-track basis.

Subject: [Flac] FLAC CD Archive

I have read some posts about using FLAC to archive CD collections and would
like to get some feedback. I am torn between creating a bin and cue file
with CDDB info and compressing that down with FLAC as a single file or the
second method of ripping all the files out to wav and converting to FLAC and
maybe saving the cue file in attempt to use it later.

The first method I believe will pretty much insure the ability to restore
the CD faithful to the original, but does not lend itself to easy creation
of ogg or mp3. Is the future of CD's in jeopardy anyway.
Will we still use them in 5 years time or will we be using wireless digital
players with hard disks.

I just wondered if there were any more thoughts on this and if the second
method could actually be used to reproduce the original CD?
Hopefully some feedback will help me decide which to go for. What I have
read so far has not been conclusive and was a year ago, maybe things have
changed now.

cheers

Dan
