Hi,Attached is a script that I developed for my own use which I thought may be of use to others. It is intended to simplify life for people who want to use iTunes to tag and manage music, but would prefer to use EAC to perform the actual ripping. In essence, you tag the tracks (in the CD track listing) in iTunes, run EAC2iTunes, which launches EAC to perform the actual ripping and then imports the resulting tracks into iTunes, tagging them with the information that was entered for the CD.
There is also a readme file attached, which describes the process in a bit more detail, along with (hopefully all) the necessary configuration options. This is very much alpha software, and has only been tested on the one machine, so all the standard disclaimers apply. I'd much appreciate any feedback on functionality, usability, utility etc.

// $Id: readme.txt 104 2007-02-07 22:24:45Z cjk32 $ // Copyright 2007 Christopher Key ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -------- Overview -------- EAC2iTunes is a script to simplify the process of using EAC to import tracks into iTunes. The intention is to combine the simplicity of tagging in iTunes with the superior ripping technology in EAC. ----- Usage ----- A CD to be ripped is inserted, and iTunes opened. The user then uses iTunes to download track information from the CDDB, and modifies this is as required. Once tagging is complete, EAC2iTunes is then run. This will intially prompt for album artwork, before running EAC in auto extract mode. This can can either be left to extract all tracks automatically, or interrupted and specific tracks manually selected. When EAC is closed after extraction, EAC2iTunes will analyse the logfile to locate the extracted tracks. These will then be imported into iTunes and converted to the default format. The imported tracks will be tagged with the information that was downloaded / entered for the inserted CD. Optionally, EAC2iTunes will also add a line to the track comments detailing any EAC import errors. ------------- Configuration ------------- iTunes requires no specific configuration. EAC should be configured not to use an external compressor (EAC -> Compression Options -> External Compressor -> Use external program for compression), and to write a logfile for the extraction operation (EAC -> EAC Options -> Tools -> Automatically write status report after extraction). When EAC2iTunes is run for the first time, it will require some initial configuration. 1) The full path to the EAC.exe executable. 2) The folder where EAC writes ripped tracks and log files. 3) Optionally, a folder where EAC2iTunes should write an extraction summary for each CD. 4) Whether EAC2iTunes should add version information to the track comments. 5) Whether EAC2iTunes should add read error information to the track comments. 6) Whether EAC2iTunes should delete the WAV files after importing them into iTunes. The configuration file is stored in C:\Windows\EAC2iTunes.txt, and can be manually edited. Deletion will force EAC2iTunes to go through the configuration process again.
