hi
i know eac & cdex are better then audiograbber, but often i use audiograbber and lame 3.90.3(preset extreme) to encode my cds
but i notice the lame give me a wrong lenght , and i have to correct with foobar! why?
1. Have you noticed skips or "sh" noises? If not, good for you. Most newer drives given them w/o paranoid or secure mode (found this out the hard way). If these don't occur with the ripping options from AG, you may be fine--my now dead drive gave perfect, if not speedy, results with buffered burst copy, but newer ones I was able to use only get things right w/ EAC secure mode.
2. Do you have it set to encode as it rips? If so, that may be the problem. I don't know what happens, but with 3.90.3 and 3.96 (haven't tried 3.96.1 yet), I got file lengths that were based on the first frame's bitrate * frames (from all I could tell, anyway). Setting it to rip a track, then encode a track fixed it, though added time, of course. This occured with the DLL and EXE.
Also, you can use Foobar's fix MP3 header feature for those you've already ripped.
