This version is more powerful, easier to use and configure. It uses only two configuration scripts: REACT-image.cfg, and REACT-track.cfg. Image mode (F10) is recommended, as it may be used for creating both an image and tracks, and is a little more robust. With Nyaochi's excellent ACDIR, it will split the image to tracks while encoding. You can pick and choose from which formats you want by only editing a few characters in the .cfg file. See examples below. NEWS Only one configuration file for each mode (image/track). Simpler user-configuration, located in first section of .cfg file (Alt-F3). Built-in support for CoverDownloader (albumart.exe). Runs when hitting F10/F4. Alt-F10 for CoverDownloader only. Adds cover pictures to FLAC (with 1.1.3beta) and MP3 by using my new tool, metamp3.exe Optionally scans and tags ReplayGain for all formats. May also apply album gain on MP3/AAC files. Writes ID3v2.3 ReplayGain tags on MP3's (Winamp/Foobar compatible), via metamp3.exe Should fix random REACT exiting, reported by some users. User may now minimize EAC while ripping (EAC will auto-restore when ripping done, and save log). Accepts both "Various" and "Various Artists" as compilation disk. If CreateAllCuesheets=1 is set in INI file, and EAC is set up to extract to a fixed directory, REACT will save all types of cuesheets when hitting F4/F10. Cuesheets can be accessed from scripts by @albumfile@ variable. E.g. "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" The (unsafe) @islast@ variable for track mode is not supported anymore. Use @track@==@numtracks@ test instead, or image mode. FEATURES The wiki has more info : http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=REACT More information and download in the thread REACT 2, EAC plugin -------------------- I'm on a horse.

The other files seem to be there. Hitting Alt-F2 gets me a "Cannot find the C:\Program Files\REACT2\React.ini file would you like to create it?" dialog. I assume I can just get a copy from somebody else or create my own if somebody can post or PM me the text of the file, right?

When you run REACT it creates the INI file for you. You should always start with REACT going forward. -------------------- [url="http://www.last.fm/user/wolfsong/"]Last.fm Profile[/url]

You should always start with REACT going forward. Yep, I'm running REACT.exe from C:\Program Files\REACT2\ You have to right click the exe and select 'Run as administrator' to get it to create the ini. Apparently react.exe isn't allowed to create files in the Program Files directory if it isn't run by an administrator. This post has been edited by SpiceWeasel: Dec 3 2006, 20:27
