Whats the best thing for ripping Audio from CD's? I usually use EAC (Exact Audio Copy), However I'm looking for soemthing maybe better?

It will even convert a bunch of files, mp3s, a then
burn to my cds.
my 2 cents
And what kind of MP3 will that command line produce, VBR, constant bit rate?agentzero9 said:-Program, including path, etc....Find the path to lame.exe
-Under addition command line options, put in the stuff above
--alt-preset extreme
-Bit rate doesnt matter, the command line overwrites it
-Delete wAVE after compression
-DO NOT use CRC Check....It add size to the file, and no players read it anyway
-Add ID3 Tag using CDDB, etc.
-High QUality should be checked, but again doesnt matter because the command line
overwrites it

BO(V)BZ said:--alt-preset extreme will produce VBR mp3's, which is definitely the best compromise if you aren't just going to rip things at 320kb/s.

johto said:Actually --alt-preset extreme does 320VBR, and i would think its better then to use 320 CBR imho.

It is --alt-preset insane that does 320, and it is cbr. --alt-preset exterme comes out to ~240kbps.johto said:Actually --alt-preset extreme does 320VBR, and i would think its better then to use 320 CBR imho.
GodsMadClown said:LAME does a pretty decent job of it. You should take a listen agian sometime. Ogg Vorbis is even better at VBR. VBR is the future, with AAC and OGG, the two more advanced lossy codecs, geared to do it exclusively.
johto said:Funny thing... i was encoding some test mp3 files yesterday in advance (many differend bitrates and settings) for my Zen Micro i will get today . I could not honestly find "any" difference between original .ape/wav and mp3 encoded with LAME --alt-preset standard (vbr). I was using sennheiser hd595 for my listening tests.
BO(V)BZ said:Care to qualify that assertion?
charles555 said:I tried VBR for Video encoding and it colors the picture a little. So, I imagine it does similarly to the little ghost notes in music, so CBR is what I prefer. I haven't really messed around with encoding a whole lot, I just use CDex with LAME at 256k If I had the money for some 590's or 650's I'd probably be more interested.
To BO(V)BZ - Hahaha, "assertion"; It was more like a cave-grunt. But any opinion we may have is qulaified no matter how rudimentary it is. In the free world we don't need to qualify what we say with anything or anybody.

I reformatted my computer and re-setup my EAC and for some reason it's going at around 2X. Whereas I used to be able to get around 20X using secure mode using a Lite-On LTC-4816H. Is there something I can do to speed up the process and use secure mode or do I just have to be patient and wait 30 minutes a CD?
