I do indeed plan to make x2y possible, but I think lead2gold may be a

This past Septemeber i started ripping my 1300 CD collection to FLAC. I
used EAC to do the job and it took awhile but I am very pleased with
the results.
The secret to my success was folling the instructions on this page to
setup and use EAC:

and then converting to WAV and all of the CD's I ripped matched - my

You can do this at rip/encode time with MAREO. It's fiddly to set up,

Oh, that doesn't look good. I thought may be I can rip with EAC and ask

I have ripped approximately 600 CDs to FLAC using EAC, and will probably

I also use Audacity occasionally as a tool. I edit tags using
