Hi Brett, I used exact audio copy to rip my cd collection, comprising around 1000 discs to flac. To date I haven't encountered any tracks with audible artefacts, even those which eac reported as having possible errors.
Eac seems to be generally regarded as the most accurate ripping tool around. By utilising both secure mode, and the accurate rip facility, I reckon you can be pretty sure if eac reports no errors you have a perfect copy. The process of ripping even a collection of a few hundred discs can be time consuming, so it pays to get it right first time. With this in mind, I personally feel it's well worth taking the time to learn and configure exact audio copy. Cheers, Tim. Bangor, N. Ireland.

I've been reading on list about eAC for ripping cd's and I know a few people on here swear by it. Was just curious about some of the advantages using it. I'm thinking of ripping my whole cd collection and throwing it all out. Is eAC a program I should consider? I've used wmp and Itunes but I hear some people r unhappy with the results. thanks in advance for the help. bb Brett Boyer Audio Production and voice over Listen to my demos at: http://brettboyer.voices.com Check out my radio show with a unique blend of comedy and music Brett Boyer's Big Bag of Goodies! http://www.mushroomfm.com/brettboyer every Thursday 11 AM eastern 8 pacific Listen to the Shroom live! http://listen.mushroomfm.com:8760/listen.pls To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
