Im reripping my CDs to -APS instead of 192AAC because I like the sound better was wondering if there was a way to make EAC save all the files into a folder with the name using the CD title like CDex does?

Search through http://www.rivarilu.demon.nl/eac/, you're guaranteed to find it.

also, where can I activate error protection where it rips the wav first the encodes the mp3?



edit: nm, found it

I'm afraid I cannot fully understand what you exactly mean, but.... have you tried reading EAC documentation and/or searching this or other forums for the solution of what at least seems to be an issue of a very basic nature?
Almost all the askable has already been asked, and answered, about EAC...

a few more questions

-is it normal that it takes eac more than 40 minutes to rip and encode a 1 hour 15 minute long CD in -aps?

-when it says Copy OK, does that mean everything was fine?

40 minutes is too long to rip and compress a cd with secure ripping or not,unless is reallu slow drive,you put extraction priority on minimum,or you have a read or sync error which can significiently slow the process.While we are at eac,somebody knows a command line or way to;when i rip a cd i want eac to put a log in a folder too.Now eac makes a folder when ripping,but i always have to put inside a log manuallu.How it can be done automaticallu???
Actually when i think more,almost all cds i ripped in last 2 years were either losless(ape)or musepack(mpc) and they are much faster encoders.If you encode to mp3 with lame3.90.3 its gonna be much slower specially if you use a vbr-presets like standard or extreme,so for 75 minutes cd might be as you said.

How can you say that? Do you know which processor he has? I think processor speed is a much more important factor when compressing...

Try SEARCHING the forum, please. I think both ripping and compression speed are really FAQs here...

I have a 2.2ghz p4 and its really weird because ive gotten some read errors on a brand new cd, and its only ripping songs at 2.4x when I have a 8x dvd drive I believe

Just pop a "\" in the naming scheme.

I use:

%D - %C\%A - %T

(disc_artist - disc_title\track_artist - track_title)

Well,to clarify;I meant its slow as long all things are average or better.Like if its p3 or higher processor,cd is not scratched and drive is not hundred years old.
For example i just ripped a audio cd with eaco.95pb5 with 17 tracks,total lenght was 61 minute,extraction and correction were on maximum-both.Secure extraction with c2 enabled took 5 minutes and compressing a 75 minutes with Lame3.90.3 aps took few seconds less then 15 minutes.Pc was p4 2.53ghz with 512 ram,so total was 20 minutes

Sorry,i meant when i extract the songs eac makes a folder specially for that extraction but the log is always outside that folder.How i can make a all files(tracks,playlist and log)to be in a same folder?

Oh. I'm not sure. Everything goes into my directories except the logs. I wrote a Perl script to move the logs into the correct directories.

anyone know why I am having troubles? I mean this is a brand new CD I just bought, but its still producing errors

What cd? Is it copy protected? A new cd does not necessarily mean without errors...

The Black Album - Jay-Z

I'm sure its not copy protected because the other songs work fine..


I tried ripping the wav file with audiograbber and there was no problem, do you think its a good idea to rip the wav files with audiograbber then convert them to mpe with eac?

EAC is primarily a ripper. It just happens to pass commands lines along to the command line encoders (.dll's). You are best off using EAC. But if you are gonna rip with Audiograbber, 1) just use command line lame or razorlame and 2) don't share.

but why does it find errors in eac but rips fine with audio grabber?

and what will I lose from ripping it from audiograbber, rather than eac?

Have you tried other CDs with EAC? Do they rip faster? If so, then it must be the cd. Make sure your CD is clean. Fingerprints and dust might screw up ripping.

I myself also have trouble sometimes with new CDs which looked mint. I'm still trying to figure out why... probably just bad pressings :/.

Audiograbber doesn't have error correction, so when it comes to a hard-to-read part on the cd, it might read it incorrectly and it will just continue ripping like nothing happened, which results in gaps/pops/skips etc etc. Yikes!

EAC will try to read this part again and again, if it ultimately fails then it will let you know.
