Hmm I got a slight problem. I rip w/EAC & tried using the interal settings to use Lame & aps to encode them. The problem i am having is when i do this, the mp3s that are created have the wrong time. When i put them into winamp or something instead of actually being like 1:45 they are like 3:13 in length?

For a while i've just had to use EAC to rip, RazorLame to Enc & then tag/name them w/cdtag manually. I am getting tired of having to type in all the cd information by hand. I knoe Audiograbber rips & encodes lame aps properly .... but i would like to use EAC.

thanks

It seems that you have a corrupt VBR-header. That shouldn't happen everytime. But it could happen with EAC sometimes ...
I'm using VBRFIX to solve the problem with corrupted VBR-headers. The time display should be correct then.

Hmm that kinda helps ... but those that mean i gotta use this program for every dir i rip?

also VBRFIX kinda kills the tag ... encspot now thinks i used Gogo instead of LAME. ????

Corrupt VBR-headers just appear 1 time out of 1000 (or so), so the files play fine, just the time display is not correct. I just correct headers when i recognize it during playback maybe several months later after having encoded the file. It's really not a big deal.
About killing the Lame tag: I think it's not that big of a deal ... but if it really concerns you maybe the Author of VbrFix will fix it when someone asks him. There was the same problem with another prog called mp3trim ... it killed the Lame-tag ...
a later revision solved that.

cool thanks

You could also try something else:
Load the corrupt mp3 file into your favorite hex editor. Then add or subtract 1 to the 10th value (thats 09dec).
So if the value of the 10th byte is '9B' you could try '9A', save it and look at it again. If it didn't work, try again with '9C'. This helps most of the time and doesnt kill your tags.
