Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2003 15:35:38 -0500 It only made sense to >snip< all that posting, and I apologize for any part my comments have played in causing a flame war. That was honestly not my intention. It only made sense to me among a group such as this Email list highly dedicated to software that gives the best audio performance to be also using the best mp3's to start with, and I had not seen EAC/Lame discussed here. I could have made similar comparisons in discussing the best high end Sennheiser (HD-600) vs Grado SR225/325 Headphones, or the Etymotic E4s/4p vs. Sure E5c I simply cannot believe that people would judge a program's value on the basis of it working on Linux or being open source. The issue of spyware or some other malicious code would have been exposed by the huge number of users and supporters by now, so that suggestion just made you sound silly. If you spend the time actually reading a number of audiophile websites that are only focussed on finding the best hardware and software to give the highest quality sound performance, you will have no question on EAC/Lame being the best with CDex a close 2nd choice. If you want to listen to the highest quality music you need to adapt to the hardware, OS, & programs that do it best. This is the heart of why we are using the Archos with Rockbox and dealing with a FAT32 format. It is why I do some things on a Linux system, other things on a .NET platform, other things on XP Pro. I could bitch about the inferiority of any OS, hardware, or software application's shortcomings....or just look at what end result do I want, and what is the best way to get there. To be honest, with the hardware investment I have made to date, even if Rockbox were to cost $30, or EAC $50, I would have bought them because they are a means to having the best end result.
