I'm starting to setup a new system and I think that I'm getting a bit of conflicting advice I'm hoping to straighten out.
A lot of the forum/wiki seems to favor EAC for ripping. I was proceeding in that direction but it appears that the EAC recommended Plextor drives (CD) are discontinued in favor of DVD drives. I asked what was currently recommended by the community since it appears that the EAC author hasn't kept his site up to date, etc. This was posted in the DIY section, included here for background. One of the responses that I got was that EAC wasn't the end-all-be-all of ripping software and that if an error-correcting drive was used than most packages would be identical in output (except for badly damaged disks, perhaps). This leads me back to this forum and the question of is this view correct (in the opinion of others) and is there a "current" highly regarded ripping tool other than EAC? EAC was forcing me down the Windows route and I was originally thinking that I would try my hand at Linux again (it has been a few years since I've done anything with Unix). To save cost, get something a bit more reliable, and to have more of a headless device that I could remote connect to sitting with my AV equipment instead of at a desk with a monitor/keyboard, etc. Thanks -- dwilliams01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dwilliams01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10988 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34179 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
