So, I just can't go back to CDex after learning this. These are my conclusions: EAC at all modes (secure, paranoid, sychronized, burst) and Easy CD-DA Extractor produce bit-for-bit exact same wav files, whereas wavs that CDex produces are different all the time. I have also made a comparisson between these 3 rippers (with 5 different CDs). I like EAC being secure and all, but I kinda miss the on-the-fly ripping. But yesterday something happened and all at the sudden, I wanted a change. I kinda feel better.īecause of this, CDex was my ripper of choice for many years now. I don't know why, but this feature seems to be very important to me. So it is basically the same as if one would use the lame.exe with EAC and with the option 'do not show console at encode'.Īnyone ever used REAL on-the-fly encoding with CDex certainly does it on-the-fly. If you check the folder you are ripping to at the time of compression, you can see, there is a hidden wav.temp file. The "problem" is that this is not on-the-fly ripping! EAC rips the track first, then it says it is compressing, when the indicator comes to 50%. Quote from: Cey on 21:59:29 Yes, EAC can encode on the fly.įirst of all, I would like to apologize for bumping into this old thread.īut I was trying to use the on-the-fly feature of EAC via lame_enc.dll for the first time. (Be nice if the author would add an option to prompt the user for the tags for each file dragged onto it.)Īlso, I think LameDrop only works with the older 3.90.3 version and not the newer versions of LAME (since it's compiled in, rather than using a DLL.) Personally, I'm rather fond of LameDrop, except that it has some limitations in tagging. Or, you could just rip to WAV and then encode from that.
That way you can use external encoders without the cd starting & stopping. mp3 extension and check the boxes.Īn alternative would be to make an image of the cd and then mount that with a virtual cd program, and then rip from that. And in the 'waveform' section, chose the mp3 encoder & the preset you want. Put the lame_dll in the eac directory, disable the use of the external encoder. It'd be harder to make it more confusing.
EAC isn't very clear about things like this, though.
