Re: [Zappa-List] EAC advice needed - problems extracting one track!
Last thing first. CD Wave for
digitizing tape. Most of the best tapers and torrenters recommend it for going
from playback straight into the PC. Also even folks that use other software use
it for splitting the tracks as it's about the only one that doesn't create SBE
(sector boundary errors) that can cause little pops and clicks.
With EAC you should never use burst
mode for a good extraction. This is a good quick start guide. Just skip the Lame
mp3 parts unless you make mp3 for some reason. Lame does make the very best
sounding mp3 I've ever heard and it's also free.

When you are ready to encode your wav
files I can't recommend flac over shn highly enough. Shorten isn't being
developed any more and flac is always being improved. It's just
better.

Hi guys & gals - here is a copy of the message I've
just posted overat Zappateers. I'm planning (well, hoping!) to upload
Madison11-Aug-84 (2-CDs - original source) as a torrent, but I just
cannotget 'Easy Meat' (real nice version as well) to extract properly -
allthe other tracks are fine. Very
frustrating!cheers,DannyHi guys & gals!I'm
trying to upload my first ever torrent (Madison 11-8-84) toZappateers &
DimeaDozen, but I'm having problems extracting the lasttrack (No14 - "Easy
Meat) from the first disc - I keep getting errors,"suspicious positions"
warnings and so on. However, this is the firsttime I've ever used Exact
Audio Copy, so I don't really know the'tricks of the trade' yet. Yes, I've
extensively cleaned the offendingdisc and tweakes some of the settings
('burst enable', for instance),but still no joy. Needless to say, it plays
perfectly fine, just willnot extract. Any advice?Once I sort this
out, I'm planning to upload some Mike Keneally showsand a really good 90min
radio interview with FZ, entitled - "Broadwaythe Hardway explained and more'
on a 'Feast of Friends' show KMPC8-1-89 (w/Alan Ladd). I do not recall
seeing this one doing the roundseither on Zappateers or
EasyTree/DimeaDozen.If, for any reason, you do not think it would be
advisable to uploadthe content listed above, please let me know - as I said
before, I ama newbie to all this Torrenting/Uploading/Seeding (etc)
stuff.Also, what program would you recommend for 'digitalising' my FZ
audiocassettes - SoundForge, Nero Wave/sound Editor, CD Wave, WaveLab
orAdobe Audition? I must admit, I don't have a clue about how to do
it,so all tips & sagely advice gratefully
