How-to rip into WMA-lossless w/EAC ?, Need a guide to do ripping to wmal within EAC Options

[philgood]

Hello music lovers,

i need to know how i can rip CD's into wma lossless within the EAC app.

after reading through 20! pages in this section of the forum i finally thought to
start a new thread.
After investigating through the web i followed the hint to install the WM-Encoder 9 pack.
Then i chose within EAC the WMA9 encoder under the external compression tab with the lossless bitrate
option checked.
But there is nothing more coming out then the .wav files...?
What i've to do ?

Thanks.

Phil

Hmm, using -a_setting Q100_44_2_24 does not result in 24 bit files, only a minor increase in bitrate. On reflection I realise that the switch is referring to the source, not the encoded file.

-a_setting Q100_44_2_16

Using -a_setting Q100_44_2_16 and using no -a_setting switch do result in identical files, as suspected.
