Theres a set of command line options on flac.exe (-0 to -8) to make it try harder to compress, though it takes a lot longer for not very much extra compression. Its also conceivable that the gaps are being handled differently, though that would make some tracks bigger and others smaller. > > I also noticed that unlike EAC, dBMC does not create a .m3u (Playlist > file) per CD/song ripped.
