I got Some question about Setting up Ogg using EAC.

in the additional Line options is where i put -quality 6 correct?

Also about about the Bitrate portion? Leave it @ 192kb/s ??

I am a n00b when i comes to ogg & just wanna expirement with it a little.

Thank you
& Merry Xmas

You have two choices of using Vorbis in EAC (I prefer the second one because it enables me to add custom tags straight after encoding, but the first one is easier for newbies):

1)

• Select "Ogg Vorbis encoder" from the "Parameter passing scheme" list.
  
• Leave "Additional command line options" blank.
  
• Select "Quality ..." from the "Bit rate" list.
  
• UNcheck "Add ID3 tag".

The downside of this method is that EAC will always add a "DESCRIPTION=Exact Audio Copy" comment, and that you're restricted to the quality levels offered in the list.


2)

• Select "User Defined Encoder" from the "Parameter passing scheme" list.
  
• Specify ".ogg" as the file extension.
  
• Additional command line options: -q X -c "TITLE=%t" -c "ARTIST=%a" -c "ALBUM=%g" -c "TRACKNUMBER=%n" -c "DATE=%y" -c "GENRE=%m" %s %d (where X is the quality level desired)
  
• UNcheck "Use CRC check" and "Add ID3 tag".
  
• Fields for "Bit rate" and "High quality / low quality" will be ignored.

You can add any custom comments with -c "COMMENT NAME=Comment Data". For example, I use: -c "ENCODED BY=Volcano" -c "COMMENT=Secure ripping with EAC".

Hope this helps.

As Volcano said...go with option 2

Here is a more condensed parameter string (for quality 8 encoding)...

%s -q 8 -t "%t" -a "%a" -l "%g" -c "comment=EAC: v1 ogg @ q8" -G "%m" -d %y -N %n

Oh, I forgot to add the disclaimer

I know I could have used, for example, -t %t instead of -c "TITLE=%t", but that would write lowercase field names, which no other program I know of does. So, when adding tags later through any other program, I'd get a mixture between lowercase and uppercase field names, which would look ugly. (Picky, I know... )
