Hi. Ok, i've tried out Exact Audio Copy, and i have a couple issues.
First, i have been all over every possible option imaginable, and I can
not, for the life of me figure out how to choose a format to rip the cd
i've got. Second, there is an option in there as to what to do after
the cd is complete, and I'm not sure i like any of the options. the 3
i've got are shutdown, restart or hybernate. I don't want the program
to do any of these, i just want the pc to be left on, as is. So as nice
as the program is, i'm not sure if this program fits my needs, at least
not yet! if anyone knows how to fix these 2 things it'd help lots.

Hi,
If you do go for eac (I would) here is a file that should make it
easier. All my perfect flac settings are in this file, go to profiles
in the file menue, then import and see what you get. Here's the file

Also if you want to test for errors before copying, press f4. Takes
longer but I think it's worth it.

Hi guys
Just for a goof, I tried another piece of software done by the same guy
that did EAC, called Easy audio copy. It sounded great, because it
claimed that the process to copy cd's was a little simpler than eac.
Sure, I want to have great rips, but i'm the impatient sort, so i
figured i'd give it a try. The bummer is there was a welcome screen in
several different languages and, try as I might with 3 different
screenreaders I absolutely could not get past it to even try it out.
The big difference is that EAC is free, while Easy audio copy is not. I
was able to find CDEX and after tweaking the settings I was able to get
some pretty good sounding rips. I copied one rock album and one modern
country album and the results were excellent, at least for my ears.
So, i think i'm happy for now, but i'll still keep EAC and the other
programs in mind, you never really know!
Thanks guys!

I spent hours setting up my eac. Perhaps I can send you my profile
file if you're interested and I can work out how. I'm a member of a
very stringent private torrents site so these rips are perfect.

Hi Chris,
ez cd audio converter
from poikosoft is worth a look as well.
Does a fairly comprehensive range of file format conversions in
to the bargain.
Can not compare with the other program in this thread, but others might
do
that for you.
Regards,

Hey folks
Subject line basicly tells the story. I have some cd's that were sent
to
me, and i'd like to rip them to the pc, but i'd like to make them sound
as
good as possible. I am a huge fan of FLAC, or free lossless audio codec
files. The file size is a bit larger but the sound quality is supurb if
you're listening on a good system. Looking online, I saw many people
mention a program called Exact Audio copy, which has been around for
years,
does anyone on here have experience using that? My hope is to convert
the
cd's to flac files, and use the cd database to grab the song titles from
the
internet. I was thinking of using CDEX, but sadly, i've never been able
to
get the CDDB, or Gracenote
servers to find anything. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks
for
any ideas folks.
Chris
