This is more of an EAC question, but I have not yet received an answer from my post on that page. Since they are closely related I thought I would give it a try here. I just bought a BIG stack of CDs (70+) and decided to recheck all of my EAC (beta 4) + FLAC (1.1.2) settings prior to ripping and encoding them. I also calibrated a new external Plextor CD-ROM too. The setting string I use in

Hi, I made backup-copies of several CDs. First I used eac (exactaudiocopy) for exact ripping to a single wav-file with cue sheet. Then I used flac --cuesheet=<cuefile> <wavfile> to get a flac file with internal cue sheet. I am on a linux system. eac is running in a vmware-windows (actually, eac is the only reason that I have a windows version running). At this point I have two

am a NEW user to flac.installed flac on eac.tried to rip a cd using eac with flac as external compression.tried the 'wav' icontried the 'mp3' iconboth options saves the file as 'wav'thought eac will rip the cd in the 'flac' file format.is this a 2-step procedure?wherein eac to 'wav' and re-ripped on flac frontend?or is there a ripper with flac in it that

ok, i'm puzzeled here I just recently reinstalled windows 2k, and i've been useing EAC to rip my CDs for a while now. i wanted to test it out (i had to reconfigure it) so i put in a burned CD with a few pretty bad scratches (used a hunting knife to make em) When i rip it i don't get any errors (with CDex to) but of course when i listen to it i hear them. This is strange bceause

I'm having some difficulty getting into Ogg. Being my first time encoding to Ogg, I am left doubtful of the quality in reproduction. Hopefully, it is merely something that I am doing. My original intentions were to go through my CD collection and rip everything out at 224kps VBR. I began with an album I was relatively familiar with. I used FreeRip 2.53 initially, but found that I had

I've had this problem encoding oggs where the output file is small, like 24kbytes for a 4 minute song (tested at 128 and 160kbit). I'm running Windows 2000 and this has happened in oggenc, oggdrop, and CDEX, though I've also been able to get good encodings with each of these. I think the only clean encodings have been .wav's that I've made myself with SoundForge or CoolEdit,

I see that this was the right place to fire off this question. Thanks for your feedback. It has given me a base to start some trials. I used to use EAC on Windows, but I tend to only use open source software as much as possible and I don't use Windows any more. I gave a brief look at abcde, but it is clear I need to look at this some more. It looks like it has the potential to do everything I

Hello everyone, I'm new to this flac thing (started about a week ago) but I have read a lot about flac and replaygain. As far as I understand it, replaygain is lossless in the sense that I can tell my player to ignore the settings or I can even use foobar2000 to remove the tags entirely, hence getting back to the original audio. If that is the case, why is there a warning in the foobar2000

I am using CDex to encode my music into Flac. I am using the latest version of Flac (with the frontend etc.) and sending the rips to it as an 'external encoder' with the string: -8 -o %2 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%b" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%tn" -T "genre=%g" - However, I am getting the below output/error with

>I can see the other side of the arguement too tho, there may be many >players around now, and in the future that will add flac support, but >not flac-album support :( yes this would be my concern as well. also, individual track support is just more flexible for moving music around between devices. it's funny, i've been on-and-off trying to get the whole eac+flac+id3+cuesheet

Hello wine users: Could someone, please, help me how to make work EAC with wine in openSUSE 10.2? Earlier (SUSE 10.1) I could configure wine to use windows 2000 as default windows version and EAC to use 'native Win32 interface for WinNT/2000/XP' and these worked together fine. Now in openSUSE 10.2 (wine version wine-0.9.37-12.1) when I start EAC with wine I get: a) when the interface

Hey all. I was an "early" adopter of mp3 (1994-1995), and I took great pains to use digital audio extractors and avoid jitter and whatnot thru proper hardware - back then, this was no mean feat. Well, I'm starting to switch to Ogg (dragging out all the CD's, starting over) and I want to know if anyone has an informed opinion on the merits or demerits of "normalization"

Firstly, a big thank-you to Josh for FLAC. Someone mentioned it in a post on Slashdot, so I came over to sourceforge for a look-see. This is just the sort of thing I've been looking for. Can anyone relate any general tips for using flac on Windows for the purpose of archiving cd's? If I can nail down a solid, easy-to-use process, I'm happy to write it up and contribute it to the

Hi guys, I use EAC to save and compress my CD's to my network drive. In the past my compression to Flac was slightly worse than the file size shown by EAC. Now, since about two weeks ago, my compression ends up at about half the size of EAC i.e. I went from a compression ratio of approx 70% to a ratio of 30%. I get the feeling that the compression is somehow missing something. Or is the

Goals: 1. Store meta data 2. Be able to recreate and burn bit-for-bit accurate audio CDs from archive. 3. Be able to "generate" lossy format files (OggVorbis,MP3,etc) with meta info intact when needed. 4. One file per song. 5. Files playable in XMMS and WinAMP3. Questions: Q1. OGG vs FLAC container? Q2. Meta data format? Q3. In detail, how does one do goal 2? Q4. What ripping/encoding

I have installed EAC. It starts, looks correct but when the cursor moves over the EAC window it disappears and I can't reach any controls. The window is possible to move around but no access to the program. When I close the program I have to force it to finish. I'm running Fedora 10.

Greetings, I really love the one flac per cd idea. So, I pulled all my cds out of storage to re-encode them. I've run into a couple of general issues here: I've done some comparisons between eac under windows, and cdrdao under linux. It seems that after converting the cdrdao data to .wav, both programs result in perfectly identical .wav files for the 3 cds I tested. However,

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

Hello list! I'm trying to use EAC here with more or less success. I'm having problems with my CD-Rom. My Wine version is 0.9.10. I'm using ide-cd with kernel 2.6.16. So I tell EAC to use the "Native Win32 interface for Win NT/2000/XP" as SCSI interface. I believe that makes use of Wine's native ntdll.dll which in turn uses SG_IO which is what I want :) When starting
