The Toshiba 20X CDROM drive in my desktop does not appear on the EAC web site's "preferred" list (neither does the HP m820e), but rips are lightning fast (audio CD ripped to .wav, saved to SCSI HDD in just a few minutes) and glitch-free. Using the Lib to rip is probably not the best use of the resources available to me, but just in case, where is WinDAC32 available? Is it freeware? Thanks.
