Exact Audio Copy Software

I'm in the long arduous process of burning my disks to FLAC lossless. In doing so, I've chosen to use Exact Audio as my software ripper of choice. I'm interested in knowing whether those with EAC experience can provide a set of options or settings that optimize the final results on the hard disk drive. Compression and other options that are offered within the parameters of this package.

I extract with EAC, then use a utility called Autoflac.

My good friend, Tim set me up with the following. The best tutorial for installing EAC is here:

http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/eac.shtml

You can stop at the section: "Setting Compression Options"

I would suggest making the following change from the instructions:
EAC -> EAC Options
Filename tab
Change the Naming scheme to "%D\%C\%N. %T"
(no quotes) -- this is close to how they configure it

Under

Next, install autoflac:

(installation is straightforward)

How to rip:

Insert the CD you want to rip
Double-click on the autoflac icon
select the EAC application, hit Alt-G to lookup the CD title and tracknames
-one time only
change the base directory to wherever you want your files located
Select OK, and then "Save" to the next prompt
CD will begin extracting

I am sorry, but I do not have the answer to your question, but this is what I am using without any problems and it is just so quick and easy.

Tim works at computer science and he loves audio as much as I do. This is his solution for getting flac and I asked him to share it.
