EAC dbpoweramp jumpstart

Steve, Steve N., and sprngr (via PM)

Thanks guys for your responses. Before I started work on EAC this morning I decided to do some more googleing to try to locate a good tutorial that was relevant to a specific version of EAC. I found a good tutorial for version V095 Beta 4 here: http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/eac.shtml; and found a good place to download that version here: exact-audio-copy.en.softonic.com/. (Sorry for not including live links-once I master EAC I'll undertake the more difficult challenge of learning how to include live links in an Audiogon post.)

Using the above tutorial and version, I managed to get started. At least I have ripped a couple of CDs to WAV and to LAME. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to que multiple compression formats. But I'll figure that out.

I must say it seems like there are a lot of members who urge others to use EAC but there are not many who are interested in helping someone get started on it. Thanks again.

Just do "test and copy" - uncompressed and you will get great CD copies.

When you install EAC, run the wizard and it will optimize for your CDROM drive.

If you want all of the tagging info, then I recommend AIFF format.

Sorry about the last link. Maybe this will help both of us.

www.hydrogenaudio has a lot of discussion on ripping and EAC.

This is more of a tutorial.

Here is a thread that might help with setting it up.

Hope you get more. I am in a similar situation.

EAC enthusiasts, a little help please.

I’m working the EAC learning curve pretty hard mainly because I want to use a single excellent ripper and convert the resulting rips to various formats. I think EAC is the best choice but I’d like to make this more of a fun audio project and less of a right of passage.

The problem I’m having at this point is finding a tutorial that matches a particular version of EAC. I downloaded version V0.99 prebeta 4 and then located several EAC tutorials. But it seems that a lot of of the screen shots in the tutorials don’t match the menus used in this version.

At the same time, none of the tutorials I’ve found (most of which seem to be very good) actually say which version of EAC they are written for.

Since I’m just learning and only plan to rip about 20 Cds of various genres and physical condition, the version number is probably not important right now.

In any case, does anyone know of particular combination of version and tutorial which help an EAC newbie get jumpstarted?
