Hi. First off all, I apologize if this was discused in some topic before. I tried searching but I couldn't find the suitable answer.

I decided to finally archive my currently rather small CD collection of abt 120 CD's. I decided to use EAC with REACT for ripping and FLAC as the codec of choice (I will be, of course, converting it ocasionally to MP3 for iPod and other devices).

I'm not a newbie to EAC (I set its options correctly), but I have little experience with REACT from the past. I plan to use the latest Synthetic Soul's mod of REACT because I'm using the latest EAC version (and as I understand it, the official version does not work with it).

I've managed to set all in the REACT.ini, but I don't know how to make REACT automatically embed the cue sheet and log file to the final FLAC file, so please help me with this.

Thanks.

REACT does embed the CUE and log to a FLAC image, however, I believe it does not embed the CUE to FLAC tracks. IIRC, it is not wise to put the CUE into the FLAC-per-track files.

QUOTE(wrong)
Still, The log can be added to the tracks. Take this:
CODE
@tools@\flac.exe @Opt_Flac@ %Cover_tag% %VA_tag% -T artist="@artist@" -T album="@album@" -T tracknumber="@track@/@numtracks@" -T title="@title@" -T date="@year@" -T genre="@genre@" -T comment="@comment@" -T encoded-by="%USERNAME%" -T encoding="Flac @Ver_Flac@ @Opt_Flac@" "@source@" -o "%TrackName%.flac"


And make it this:
CODE
@tools@\flac.exe @Opt_Flac@ %Cover_tag% %VA_tag% -T artist="@artist@" -T album="@album@" -T tracknumber="@track@/@numtracks@" -T title="@title@" -T date="@year@" -T genre="@genre@" -T comment="@comment@" -T encoded-by="%USERNAME%" -T encoding="Flac @Ver_Flac@ @Opt_Flac@" --tag-from-file="eaclog=@eaclog@" "@source@" -o "%TrackName%.flac"


That is wrong. IIRC, EAC won't create the log till after extraction is complete with all the tracks.

I think you'd have to use Image mode in REACT, but you'd still just add the --tag-from-file="eaclog=@eaclog@" to the command in the tracks section.

Thank you for your quick reply. I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I want to rip CD's to images, not to individual files (when I said "final file", I was reffering to flac image of the CD).

Does the latest mod of REACT support the embedding of .CUE and .LOG? IIRC, when I tried to use older version of REACT before, there was an option for embedding cue and log within the .INI file, but now I cannot find it (maybe I'm wrong, it was some time ago).

Nope, just recently got the REACT working but it does it's job putting the LOG and CUE in the image. You might request this thread be dropped into here, as they can address issues in there more efficiently (since that is their pride-and-joy thread).

Wow I had to go back some pages to find that! I thought the REACT2 thread was permanently pinned to the first page of HA.
