EAC is a bit geeky. But once it is setup, it works fine. That is one of the reasons I use CDex and FlacFrontEnd It is mindless, you just use CDex to get .wav files, and then have FlacFrontEnd be a nice drag and drop GUI to convert and tag the files. > Do you think that WMA will be unsupported at some time? Sure, when Microsoft collapses like Digital and Compaq did. Or when the sun goes supernova. Much more likely is that M$ will build in a DRM into WMA. That can't happen with FLAC. > I am not trying to be contrary, I really want to understand this before > I commit to a rip method. The best thing about FLAC is that you don't have to commit to anything. You can always use FLAC to convert your compressed files to bit-identical source, and recompress, or reencode or whatever you want. All without handling the disks again. You may find http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/tips.html useful. Depending on how many CDs you want to process, you may want to change how you approach it. I did a little over 700 CDs, and I wanted a process that took the least amount of time for me handling CDs. I didn't care at all how long the computer ran as long as I didn't have to to touch it. For me, it was worth some experiments and setup time, as that was once-only. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
