>From CatBus: "HOWEVER, there simply is no equivalent to EAC on Linux at the moment, as far as "perfect rips" are concerned."
Not yet, anyway. About a month ago, I saw a thread on the English EAC forum regarding EAC on other platforms. Andre Wiethoff said he was working on porting EAC to Linux and Mac, Unfortunately, he said not to look for it on has site any time this year. Apparently, he is recoding it from the ground up (in C++, I believe) which is a lot of work. I'm also sorry to say that another poster on that thread expressed extreme skepticism regarding EAC through Wine. He made the point that what makes EAC so superior is that Andre used iocntl commands that went way "under the hood" in terms of specificity and complexity. This poster was concerned that although it may function under Wine, the very fine read commands that EAC specifies would be lost in translation, so to speak. I would love to hear Dougal's opinion about this and any sonic comparisons between tracks ripped with EAC/Windoze and EAC/Wine. EAC is the one app that keeps me from being MSFree. Thanks and Happy Squeezing!
