Problems with Exact Audio Copy

[btaki]

I'm using EAC to rip my CDs into MP3 Files, it's ripping each file at a time and then encoding it, It used to rip the first file encode it and keep ripping while encoding the files one after the other.

Ripping and encoding at the same time wouldn't be a good idea.

It should rip Track #1, encode track #1, rip track #2, encode track #2, etc...

I rip and encode at the same time. At some point there is usually 2 encoding windows open at once. (while still ripping another track..)
I have a dual core and the computer doesn't even flinch. In fact I surf the web and take care of email while ripping.

I'm not sure what the OP was looking for, but there is a checkbox/textbox somewhere in the settings which enable the ability to tip and encode at the same time and limit how many encoders can run at once.

I had my machine do this too - let's me go through CD's faster. Don't listen to Slick - you won't do wrong by this.

The option is under "EAC options", "Tools", "On extraction, start external compressors queued in the background". 1 thread is fine unless you have a 2+ processor setup.

Thanks RaiderJ I appreciate the Advice .

Well to be honest it did sound a little confusing and you can't blame slick... it sounded like track 1 was ripping and encoding at the same time which isn't what it was doing. It was encoding track 1 while ripping track 2 and so on.

It wasn't ripping track 2 while encoding Track 1, it was ripping track 1> encoding it> ripping track 2> encoding it> ripping track 3 ......
