EAC is free and practically > guarantees error-free ripping. Why use anything else? For the reasons already described. For me, the reason is that it is a windows only program and I do not have nor do I care to have a windows machine. The number of windows machines I use exponentially increases my stress level. I have never had any problems using cdparanoia myself and I certainly can't tell the difference between the original CD and what cdparanoia has ripped. If I do have a CD in very bad shape that cdparanoia has trouble with and can't even do error correction on (which has happened on 1 or 2 occasions), its not like errors creep into the rip and I don't know about it. For me, the encoding is definitely much more important. Anything less than lame --r3mix and my ears are not happy. -Brian Received on 2003-12-22 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
