Hey guys, I'm just wondering if it's okay to use EAC 0.99pb3 to rip music into FLAC? My problem with EAC right now is that it won't support unicode characters so I was planning to just pop in the CD and just rip the music into a directory. The music will be in .wav format and I'll just use the FLAC compressor to compress it to FLAC's "8" setting and then use MP3Tag to properly tag the music. Are there any problems with my method of ripping the music albeit a bit on the slow side?
Also, should I have accuraterip installed? If so, how do I ensure that my drive (Plextor Premium) will be activated for the Accuraterip feature?

You could shave a step off the whole process by encoding to FLAC with EAC, ant then tag with Mp3Tag.
EAC doesn't support unicode? 
However...

This should happen automatically. There will be a popup when AR is enabled the first time with a drive.

Are there any problems with the latest version of EAC or I should use the older version of EAC?
Btw, does anyone here have the commandline to get EAC to encode with FLAC at the highest possible compression? I guess I won't worry too much about tags and I'll just want the music to have the track number to help me identity it on an interim basis.

Just take a look at the knowledgebase. For highest compression you have to use "-8" in the command line shown. I would also suggest to use the "-V" switch to ensure that no errors happen during encodung.

I looked at it and I'm confused. Can you please give me the commandline that will compress it to the highest possible level and then just output the track number with the track title in numerical format?

For the commandline in the compression options this would be (with appropriate tagging):
CODE
-T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -V -8 %s %d
To get the right file names you have to configure it in the "EAC options" dialog in the tab "Filename". If you only want to have the tracknumber and the track title seperated by "-" this would simply be:
CODE
%N - %T
