Ok, for those who like to rip music from their CD collections or who are into converting audio file formats to say 40 different formats and more besides then you may wish to look at Max Ripper, versions are available for Mac OS10 and LINUX. I've been using the Mac version for a couple of weeks now and I'm very impressed, Max Ripper is on a Par with EAC, for the PC, the most accurate and reliable audio CD ripper I'm yet to see, well apart from Max. Just to see how good Max Ripper was, I ripped a CD using EAC on the PC and Max Ripper on the Mac and compared the resulting files from both rips using EAC's "Compare File" tool, no difference between both files so let that speak for itself. Max Ripper like EAC will generate ccue sheets but unlike EAC, you will be able to use the CUE sheets to convert files. For example, let's say you have a cue and FLAC pair, you can use the cue sheet to affectively create the original CD into MP3 tracks from the FLAC file, this feature isn't fully implemented as yet but it will be in the next release of Max Ripper I'm told. Max Ripper is "open source" and is free. Max has various ripping settings including "full paranoia" to insure that you get extremely good quality results whether you have CD's in pristine condition or whether they're damaged. http://sbooth.org/Max/
