Flac - Jan 2008 - new flac user

a new user to flac here...am planning on archiving all my cd collection to an
external hdd.have thought of using mp3 at 320k cbr or 192k vbr but have decided
to go on flac.I am using EAC with flac as an external compression.there is an
option on eac for bit rates.I think the default rate was set to 640kbits/s, with
a min of 32kbits and max of 1024kbits/snow, my inquiry is... do I need to change
the bit rate to 1024kbits or is the setting of the bitrates irrelevant since
flac is lossless?Rudy

If you're using the latest pre-beta of EAC it should all be automatic.
But in short, no, the bitrate setting is ignored for FLAC.

Just set compressiong=max and ignore the other things. It's in EAC for
things that care about it (mp3/AAC). You can also set the file extension
(which will confuse many players) and various other things.
