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

It appears that the problem was related to the destination drive. I experience problems of different sorts when I rip to the C and the network drive. But when I tried ripping to an internal drive other than the c-drive things worked as expected. So I will simply rip to this drive and then copy everything to the network drive afterwards.

Next problem is this: I have tried all combinations of gap methods and detection accuracy, but still do not get alle the gaps between tracks. I would also like to have each song appear as a single file, so I tried the index-based option. With this method, however, I do not get to choose the destination file. Everything is copied to the netwotk drive, and thus I do not get the flac-files. Also, the track numbers are formatted as "1.01", etc., which means that I would have to rename all titles individually.

Any ideas? Thanks for the help so far.

I've always done that anyway. If you do any post-rip processing such as adding ReplayGain or additional tags, it's often a bit faster and a little easier to do it on a local drive than across the network.

Does the detection process hang up on you, or do you simply mean that some tracks have no gaps between them? The latter is fairly common.

Not sure what you mean here.

Also, the track numbers are formatted as "1.01", etc., which means that I would have to rename all titles individually.

Do you actually mean the filenames are formatted like this? Or both the track number field and the filename? I would guess you mean just the filename, which can be formatted in the options at EAC > EAC Options (F9) > Filename > Naming Scheme. Looks like you have it configured to prepend the disc number, which you can remove. Just give some thought about ripping multi-cd sets and don't place the files from all discs into the same folder, or they'll be mixed up.
