To WAV or not to WAV?

This will not make the local off license happy

Audiograbber is fine, I use it myself for reference rips and it's never let me down.

 

[Westerp]

Referenced to what? The plain and simple fact is that EAC is better.

When you are happy with audiograbber that's perfectly fine but for
me 'fine' is not good and I like 'better' even more

p.s. I don't even use windoze software so why am I defending it?

I shall try EAC later today and see how I get on with it. I will also ensure that I swap arms regularly and avoid RSI during this arduous task.

Give Dbpoweramp a try as well. In batch ripper mode, there's no fussing with choosing directories and stuff, it's just change disc and close drive. You don't even need to put your beer down.

I have my own (possibly idiosyncratic) way of organizing my music. Thus, Pink Floyd is filed under F for Floyd but Fleetwood Mac (yes, I'm showing my age) is filed under F for Fleetwood. Still, I'm pretty agile with the beer. Exact Audio Copy has won out over Audiograbber because it seems to be more open about what it's doing. I've started all over again (just as well I hadn't got that far).

Yay! Once again the best has won And once again, this from someone
who uses cdparanoia

So EAC using the 97% accurate "AccurateRip" is the best?

Uh-oh. Looks like i'll have to re-rip 2000 cds...

This is a crc/checksum problem, not a discussion about accuracy and or rip quality.

You need good gold-plated audiophile hardisk though

Don't forget the solid silver SATA cable!!

I'm quite content with my Synology NAS with two 1 TB drives running RAID1.
