EAC and flac Options

[tidende]

Hi,

I have tried ripping and compressing CD's with EAC 1.0 beta 3 and have them compressed to flac. Unfortunately, I only get the wav-file, the cue-sheet and the txt-file. There does not seem to be anything wrong with the additional command line options: -8 -V -T "ARTIST=%artist%" -T "TITLE=%title%" -T "ALBUM=%albumtitle%" -T "DATE=%year%" -T "TRACKNUMBER=%tracknr%" -T "GENRE=%genre%" -T "COMMENT=%comment%" -T "BAND=%albuminterpret%" -T "ALBUMARTIST=%albuminterpret%" -T "COMPOSER=%composer%" %haslyrics%--tag-from-file=LYRICS="%lyricsfile%"%haslyrics% -T "DISCNUMBER=%cdnumber%" -T "TOTALDISCS=%totalcds%" -T "TOTALTRACKS=%numtracks%" %hascover%--picture="%coverfile%"%hascover% %source% -o %dest%. At least I am not warned of any errors when I test the encoder.

Thanks a lot

Tried to set the destination folder to C:\. The wav, txt and CUE end up here: C:\Users\Dell Desktop\AppData\Local\VirtualStore and I get an error message with a complex command line (the error message concerns the command line). Will try a simpler command line in a couple of days when I can look at this again. The flac-file is nowhere to be found

Here is the txt:

I didn't have a chance to read the entire log (yet), but I would also avoid using the root C: folder. That one is often reserved for system files, and can cause replication/Virtual Store issues.

I'd recommend creating a folder on a secondary partition (D:) or an external hard drive if you have either one. Those should both be safe. If you don't, then use a folder within My Documents - but make sure it's the My Documents folder for your Windows account.
