Would like to Rip all of my music CDs, whats a good application to use for this? Wasnt thinking of using media player, as it might not be that good.

Thanks
 
Thanks for that

Was thinking of ripping as a WAV with no compression, for the best quality, would that be right?

Just saves me popping my cds in my drive every time i want to listen to music.
 
Hi Thanks

How big could we be talking for a CD with 20 tracks? I do have a lot of storage space though.

Also can 320 Bitrates be ripped with just EAC or in combination with Lame?

Yeah just sorting this now with LAME. Ive got options here for more than 320 Bitrate?

Will higher obviously be better or just stick with 320 Bitrate?

Thanks
 
Just ripped a CD then.

Its not ripped to FLAC just WAV? Each track is seperate in the saved directroy but its not compressed to FLAC even though it was configured in compression options.

What am i doing wrong here?
 
In the additional command line options field ive put the command as stated in the link and all im getting is Invalid replacement tag found!

This is a pain in the backside.

Ive over 800GB of space on my data drive i could just save myself the hassle and rip using WAV.

I use EAC to rip to Mp3 (lame encoder) for the ipod, and Flac for streaming round the house in one pass. You have to use a little filter called mario that does the actual encoding, and point EAC towards the mario config. EAC will take care of your mp3 tags as well.

Its a pig to set up mario and if you want to go down this route then google is your friend as there are lots of guides, but the config commands have changed as mario evolved so make sure that you are using the right tutorial for the version that you are using.

Thought this could be done using FLAC which comes with EAC? How many more apps do i need to do this?

Dont think i can be bothered with hours of reading to be honest. :o
 
Been ripping with FLAC now and started to use Foobar2000 as my media player as this can play these type of formats.

As for the setup of Foobar ive set up the interface (scratchboard etc) Added the Libraries and pictures for the albums.

Just wondering what advanced settings to use though in preferences.

Il start from here, what to do with:

Replay gain, which option to choose for albums?

Options for playback, and output? Which device to choose if you get me.

Buffer length etc.

Really new to this so some guidence on it would be great. Looks like a good little audio player as well.

Thanks
