Exact Audio Copy [ www.exactaudiocopy.de ] is an excellent ripper fully compatible with most encoders - including Shorten, RKAU, ogg etc. However, I have not been able to get flac to work on it. It -should- be possible though, as you can set a user-defined encoder and pass it command line parameters, I just haven't toyed enough with said parameters... Has anyone tried using flac and EAC and gotten them to work together? -- CF
