Re: ripping my collection: advantages of eAC vs mainstream rippers
i am currently using itunes to rip cds to hd. i have my converted to wave format. the sound is a little off. as far as quality is concerned. but overall its fine. if your use to hearing quality sound from the cds themselves, you will hear differences with wave or mp3 formats even at high quality. thanks les Cd/Dvd Duplication Custom Printing Customer Service Les Gordon Phone: (866)356-2602 Fax: (866)873-2694 Email: mr...@comcast.net Web: http://www.cdrdvdr.com - Original Message - From: Gary Petraccaro garyp...@verizon.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2012 6:58 AM Subject: Re: ripping my collection: advantages of eAC vs mainstream rippers It's a pay-for isn't it? - Original Message - From: G.

Re: ripping my collection: advantages of eAC vs mainstream rippers
There is a bit of a learning curve with Eac and I've never been willing to put the time into it. I rip to 320 kbps using Real player and Express Rip from NCH and am very happy with the results. Express Rip is sometimes a bit clunky especially in the looking up of track info.

Brett, I would still choose eac for audio extraction, irrespective of which file format the tracks will eventually be output to.

RE: ripping my collection: advantages of eAC vs mainstream rippers
Hi, Yes, I also have a duplicate of everything in mp3 format. Initially I used Dbpoweramp to batch convert the whole lot. Now after ripping a cd, I immediately make a copy of the flac files as mp3's. For this I use a program called Trader's little helper. TLH is a very useful little utility which performs various conversion tasks, amongst other things. It's also free, and pretty accessible. There is a way in eac to call multiple external encoders, so when ripping, both mp3 and files could be created simultaneously. Although, I never quite made that work successfully here. regards, Tim.

Re: ripping my collection: advantages of eAC vs. mainstream rippers
Yeh, I tried to switch and start ripping to OGG, it being open source and all, but I had some trouble with the sound quality of some files where I was extracting the audio from a video. I guess I was running into some artifacts converting from one lossy format to another. I'm guessing some of those video formats are just containers for MP3 audio. I didn't investigate this much and ended up just going back to MP3 as my default.

Re: ripping my collection: advantages of eAC vs mainstream rippers
I rip to MP3, and I use something less than a 320K bit rate, so I don't think you're insane, but it depends on what you'll be doing with these ripped files. For my part, I'm not an audiophile and I'm not going to be playing these on a high fidelity system, so I make some allowances for speed and convenience. If I had the ears that I had when I was younger, and I had the time and the space, then I'd be considering EAC and FLAC myself. IMHO, you're not insane for going with what makes sense for your situation. On 20/02/12 18:53, Brett Boyer wrote: Ok I don't think I have the space for flak files.
