I am using EAC 0.99pb5 .I want to rip cd to mp3 vbr -v 0 (extreme). My command line setting for lame is

-V 0 --add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2 --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

and I have checked the Add ID3 tag option . Using dBpoweramp Music Converter i found that the ripped mp3 had CD toc .
I dont want this but when i unchecked the Add ID3 tag option it was gone but i did not get the Encoded by option (ex. Encoded by EAC (Secure mode). I wantd this option and not the CD TOC. Also the mp3 had ANSI text encoding what to do if i want UTIF-16

Why not have EAC do the tagging instead of lame? (and why did you quote the previous post?)

You can't have both EAC and LAME add tags. If you use the above command-line for LAME, uncheck "Add ID3 tag" in EAC's "Compression Options". If you are going to have EAC tag, then remove everything from the command-line except the -V 0 and check "Add ID3 tag". It's one or the other.

In this situation, I'd uncheck the "Add ID3 tag" option and use:

-V 0 --pad-id3v2 --ta "%a" --tl "%g" --tn "%n" --tt "%t" --ty "%y" --tg "%m" %s %d

I like the organization better.


I don't know anything about dBpoweramp.


That is added automatically when you let EAC tag the file (provided that EAC is configured for Secure mode). Otherwise, if you are going to let LAME tag the file, then you will need to add "--tc <value>" to the command-line as an additional parameter. I'd put it after the --tg "%m" part myself.


I have no idea. Use EAC? I'm using LAME because it generates smaller tagged files than the method EAC uses. YMMV.

Good luck.
