no doubt dbpoweramp is easier, but EAC leaves no "carnage" for me. it rips into folders and tags properly, etc... its not as easy, but its hardly the freak u make it out to be. pqpq;678657 Wrote: > I'm all the happier because the enormity of my CD collection is starting > to dawn on me.

EAC can be set to rip in different modes, like fast, burst, secure, etc. i believe the same is true of dbpa, and that would explain the rip times. all either do is take the track to wav, where it is compared for accuraterip then compressed by your codec. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 ie9 & xp pro sp3 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92290 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
