Any of you use Exact Audio Copy?

i don't think speed checks for errors. then again it doesn't matter for a book on tape use accurate settings for audio though.

I know.
But, I think if I am careful, I can get super quality at a low bit rate, which mainly has to do with the mp3 encoding.
I think I will try a new thread for the settings.

what i'd do is speed up the audio b4 encoding to mp3. atleast from what i've experienced with book on tape, they read too damn slow. no one reads that slowly in their head atleast

ooooooooooooppppppppppps!
Crap.
I ripped all 13 CDs, and it went much faster, at about 20 times real time.
So, I have all these *.wav files.
Did it get the ID3 info?
If not, I need to do this again and chaneg the settings to grab that info.

Depends, did you save any info with regards to the filenames? If so, you can use Tag and Rename to generate the ID3 tags from the filenames. If not, then yes.

they are all named like Track1 etc...
rerip or will tag and rename do it faster?
Did it not save the file name info because I selected a whole disk at once to rip instead of one file at a time?

You can use Tag and Rename to redo everything fairly easily. It can rename a bunch of files with the same data, like Album and Artist. Then you can go in and put in the track name.

Most likely the filenames don't have any useful info because you didn't assign a filename mask/pattern. I'm at work so I don't have EAC on hand, but there is a place where you can specify how the filenames are generated. It looks like %1\%2-%3. That type of thing. And be sure to grab the CDDB info first so it has that info.

I'd say just encode the MP3's and then go back with T&R and fix up the ID3 tags.

I bet you have to rip and ecode on the fly for it to save the ID3 info.
Anyone know?

For the version of EAC that I have, yes. But sid59 claims that the newer version will do the queuing and batch processing of Razor Lame for you while keeping the ID3 info.

did you look above at the my post telling where to look in EAC? You said you used a version from 2001, so was I, and it worked.

Lemme get a a screen shot for ya. TAKE A LOOK!

again, after the whole cd rips, you can close EAC and it will save the encoding for later and still write ID tags.

my claims are valid. ripping 40 cds is a great testament.

k, I was wrong. Sheesh. Never did figure out what that setting was for. I don't really care anymore since I've already encoded all my 250+ CD's using my method.

Marking thread for later use.

OK, how do I grab the ID3 tag ifo when ripping and encoding?
Disc Title / Artist Name / Track Title are shown when I play the CD in WINAMP, but the mp3 I rip doesn't have the information so obviously I am setting it incorrectly.
