EAC - Ripping Options


I want to make a perfect copy of CD using EAC. Should I choose uncompressed test/copy option, and burn with the slowest speed allowed in the CD burner?

If all I care is quality, is there any reasons I should choose FLAC/MP3 over uncompressed mode?

EAC is pretty good in correcting CD errors. Is there new software product that is better than EAC?

Thanks!

This is a good question, and as we are on AUDIOgon, I still don't understand why some people will invariably suggest compressing your music.

Hard drives are only getting bigger and cheaper by the day.

I, too, would love to hear from the EAC experts on bit for bit perfect, UNcompressed copies.

Since I first explored this, I think EAC has made some progress in its ability to "tag" the filenames for WAV files.

If you are using a portable device or a laptop, there may be considerations re battery life.
