I believe there is a programme called Titanium Toast that will rip to FLAC on Macs. I'm currently moving so to speak but may well just keep a PC going for ripping (I use dBpowerAMP). -- Empgamer Empgamer's Profile:

Toast is a great disc burning/backup/tivo tool, burns audio CDs directly from flacs, but not so great for ripping CDs, and costs like $70. Max works well for this, and is free. Those folks also make Play, which provides the replaygain scanning lacking in Max, and can also edit tags. Free also.

I've never done EAC but thinking about starting doing it, just for ripping. Although I view it as a temporary solution as I'm sure Max will have a secure ripping solution real soon. -- Meatwad650 Meatwad650's Profile:

I recently tested it. Doesn't do replay gain by album, only track, so I was still using foobar to replay gain. In other news, mac users can now see/search flac tags from within Finder/Spotlight/Get Info using this importer from the maker of Max: http://www.sbooth.org/importers/ -- bephillips

Current set up: Dell PC and QNAPS 101. Slimserver is running on the QNAPS and all my CDs are ripped to FLAC using EAC. I've decided that my next computer will be a Mac. The computer is mainly used for photos, home movies and is used a lot by my kids and I think the Mac is probably better suited
