To those who use EAC....

Why can't I get the damn thing to rip to MP3?

I click the Compress to MP3 button and it rips it to freakin WAV! What am I missing here?

did you configure the lame encoder?

it worked fine when I used MusicMatch. Do I have to configure anything special within EAC?

Yes, you need to d/l the LAME executable and point EAC to that.

Nope. You just have to rip first to .wav (which you've apparently figured out) and then go back and direct the program to the .wav files you'd like to compress. I don't have it in front of me right now so I can't recall the command, but it's in the dropdown menus.

I usually rip a dozen CDs or so and then select all the resulting .wav files and let it do the encode thing overnight since it's much more time consuming than the rip.

I had the compressor set to some weird thing.

I just had to change it to LAME. I'm a moron.

Thanks guys!

That's okay, we all know you're a moron. 😉

You can actually set EAC to encode automatically using LAME. Best part is it does ID3 tags for you that way.

But you can only do one disc at a time? Or no?

Yep that's why I don't like doing it that way.

I just rip a bunch of CDs to wav and then use RazorLame to do the encoding later. Tag & Rename makes it very easy to do the tags since it pulls them from the same freedb servers that EAC uses.

you have to configure teh LAME codec. and you can do it track by track. i do it that way

EAC sets up a queue, I've had dozens of discs queued up to encode. It saves them all to WAV's first (much faster to rip than to encode), & deletes the WAV's when the encoding is done.

I queued 5 cds to rip. it works great.

When I use EAC the files I get are empty. They play, but there's no audio at all.
