help converting EAC files to FLAC

When I run 'Encode' in the FLAC window, it seems to be going ok, with the DOS window showing progress and all. But it runs very fast, and the compression ratio is .001! (1/1000) which I know is way low, supposed to be 50% or so.

When I try the file in Winamp it runs for a split second and stops.

What is the possible cause? I am evaluating this prior to buying a Squeezebox and would like to know that I can actually use the device efficiently before buying. Are there other compression programs that may work better?

Thanks.

All you ned to do is get the flac plugin for winamp and you sjould be good to go. a google search should reveal it. you can also try foobar, which is what i've playing with lately. you can get it from:

download the "special" version. it comes with many plugins, one of which being the flac plugin.
