Hello all. SqueezeBox Classic is very attractive nowadays (189 , an affair !) I'm going to buy one soon, and hence I'm thinking about converting my CDs to FLAC (or any lossless CoDec supported - I regret that SqueezeBox does not support Wavpack). I'm totally newbie to this magnificient world ;-) !
Question 1 : the first thing I really want to be sure about is that SB Classic is able to read FLAC files gaplessly. I gave search a chance, and read here and there that it is possible, BUT some people (used to ?) have problems. So, what ? Gapless playing is really OK or not ? Since I have many classical CD that mix gapless pieces of music with tracks separated by silence, it is important for me to be sure I will not get into trouble... Question 2 : what is the best CD ripper ? I'm mostly running under GNU/Linux, so I gave EAC (with Wine) and CDparanoïa a try : they disagree. I mean : when I calculate a checksum of same WAV files, extracted of the same disc and the same reader, EAC and cdparanoia give different results. OK, my CD-ROM is in fact a DVD burner, I read it could cause problems to CDP... So I started a Windows, EAC under Windows gives the same result as under Linux. I tried dbpoweramp under Windows, first surprise : it does not recognize the AccurateRip of the audio CD I tried to rip, though EAC recognized it... Worse : dbpoweramp gave me a third result, different from both EAC and CDP results. So what is the right tool ? Thanks for all in advance ! -- AlAz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlAz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=26092 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60890
