Yep quite.
I enjoy my Mac and my Windows machines - and all the other devices I use
-. I often find myself wondering - when I use the Mac - how much others
might enjoy a particular App if the developer made a Windows version?
The XLD Ripper for the Mac is among st the best CD Rippers I've ever
used, its an App with a slick interface and yet its ass accurate as
Exact Audio Copy is when it comes to ripping audio CD'S.

is. That's just how it works. we just need to try different things
and figure out what works the best for us as individuals. what may
work for you may not work for me, and that's just fine. that's how it
should be. being individuals is fun.

Yes the interface is prone to change this is for sure.
Furthermore, access has always required a lot of mouse-pad work. Yes
50 dollars is a price, but it's for the life of the product. Or so
he says. I can view the log files in the second tab page.
I have no interest as to who uses which program, only that pitfalls
encountered, explained and worked around can help us
all, and merely to give as broad a view as possible within my
verry limited understanding.
It's strange but true, a particular set of users will have no
issues with a product, while others may find access almost
impossible.
So it is 1 big hurrah for exact audio copy.
Have a great day.

I have to admit to being annoyed with EZ CD converter as it is now.
What annoys me about this software is that it keeps changing all the
time.
When ripping CD'S now the user has no way of knowing just how
accurately EZ has done or what errors it came across, the author of
the software has - for whatever reason - removed the ability to log
EZ Converters actions.
Apart from that - assuming it works correctly which we can't say for
sure now - its a good bundle given its only $49 however Exact Audio
Copy is free and - given a little setting up and tweaking - provides
good and accurate rips all the time and you'll have the log file to
prove it <smile>.
Regarding file converters? Well that's not a huge problem as all the
encoders/decoders can be easily obtained and Exactly Audio Copy - if
you'd prefer - can be configured to convert from format to format but
Ez CD Converter is very convenient for that sort of thing.
The other reason I'd use Exact Audio Copy if at all possible is that
its just plain far better when it comes to accessibility than Ez CD
Converter ever has been.

Hi Chris,
ez cd audio converter
from poikosoft is worth a look as well.
Does a fairly comprehensive range of file format conversions in
to the bargain.
Can not compare with the other program in this thread, but others
might do that for you.

Hey folks
Subject line basicly tells the story. I have some cd's that were
sent to me, and i'd like to rip them to the pc, but i'd like to make
them sound as good as possible. I am a huge fan of FLAC, or free
lossless audio codec files. The file size is a bit larger but the
sound quality is supurb if you're listening on a good system.
Looking online, I saw many people mention a program called Exact
Audio copy, which has been around for years, does anyone on here
have experience using that? My hope is to convert the cd's to flac
files, and use the cd database to grab the song titles from the
internet. I was thinking of using CDEX, but sadly, i've never been
able to get the CDDB, or Gracenote
servers to find anything. Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks for any ideas folks.
Chris
