I would strongly recommend the use of EAC! I have tried both Winamp and Windows Media Player for ripping, but none of these can provide high enough quality, I believe.... I ended up with some dropouts every now and then and occasionally some very funny kind of distortion. I am not sure, but it just didn't always sound quite right to me. I now there is a request to create what they call "paranoid level" ripping in winamp that will guarantee the ripping result, but I'm, not sure if and when that will be in the feature set.
EAC takes longer because it reads everything over and over again until it can guarantee that what's read is correct. You get an exact copy of what's on the CD, or if EAC is not able to successfully read the stuff, then you will be alerted. This makes it worthwhile to have the PC working that extra time. If you have multiple drives, you can start multiple copies of EAC and rip in parallell! To configure folders and file names, go to EAC, EAC Options.... On the directories tab you can configure where to rip.... For the filenames, You can create any kind of naming scheme, it's all documented on the page I'm using something like this: %D - %C\%N - %D - %T This creates a separate folder for each album in the following way: CD Artist - CD Title \ Track number - CD Artist - Track Title.flac Regards Harald N -- haraldo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haraldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41685 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
