Okay I'll have to sit down and explore the Ez CD Converter itnerface thoroughly then. For the CD archive we use Cue/Flac file pairs - the author of Ez CD Converter calls this a disc image now - but it seems that all the parameters for setting this mode have all gone? Perhaps they're cleverly

For the ripping, use the external programs tab. If you want to use flac, you will need to download it separately and install and put the path to the binary in the external programs tab and specify all the options to the flac program that you want. After the rip is done, just don't check the

Hi. Ok, i've tried out Exact Audio Copy, and i have a couple issues. First, i have been all over every possible option imaginable, and I can not, for the life of me figure out how to choose a format to rip the cd i've got. Second, there is an option in there as to what to do after the cd is

Hi guys Just for a goof, I tried another piece of software done by the same guy that did EAC, called Easy audio copy. It sounded great, because it claimed that the process to copy cd's was a little simpler than eac. Sure, I want to have great rips, but i'm the impatient sort, so i figured

If you're using original CD'S then there's a good chance they'll show up 99% of the time. That's the nice thing about Exact Audio Copy - if you're looking to copy audio discs - it copies them exactly and you'll see it, no more inexact matches when looking up in a database with an Exact copy

I use exact audio copy all the time to do just this. I had to fool with the configs to get it to do flac instead of mp3, but it works great. You might still run into cds not showing up in the database, but that's a different program. On Thu, 10 Nov 2016 23:58:45 -0500, Chris Skarstad wrote: >

Exact Audio Copy is a truly outspend tool. Its been a good while since I’ve used it given I use my Mac for that sort of thing so I don’t know where the software is at these days. First thing I will tell you is that - due to the truly configurable and customisable nature of Exact Audio Copy -
