EAC question

Hi everyone. I'm back ripping CDs to FLAC after more than 13 yrs since my CD library has gotten bigger. I feel like I've forgotten how to do this. Right now I have it all set up but upon inserting a CD I do not see the track name nor the artist. It does show all the tracks but no metadata. Anyone with any idea as to what I didn't check or missed is greatly appreciated.

 You have to set EAC to freedb in settings. I think you also have to enter an email address. I have always put a fake email address.

  Another nice free tool is Cuetools. It does so many useful things like converting file types. It can also check your old rips against the Accurip database to make sure they are bit perfect.

 I always do test and copy. I also always create both a log and cue files. It really does not matter if you compress while you rip or later. I usually just rip to Flac. I think you need to add the Flac add on to EAC to do this but I might be wrong. It has been a while since I set mine up.

 Cuetools can also add the metadata and convert the files to Flac.
