Is EAC compatible with Windows Vista

i am able to rip but the files are sent to my documents as individual songs. no album art and no organized album file

You need to reset the Filename. Go to EAC Options - Filename, and enter %D\%C\%N.%T This will create a file with Artist: Album: Song titles.

EAC just doesn't allow you to include the artwork (at least I haven’t figured out how to with EAC). I like the idea of having the artwork, but I would rather know that I'm getting the most precise rip that I can. FLAC is working very well for me - in fact it's very difficult for me to hear any differences between my CDs and FLAC files.

I think there is a way to add the artwork after ripping with EAC?? At this point however, the process is becoming a bit protracted.

Just in case anyone else cares, I found a solution to this issue by simply opening EAC in Administrative mode on my laptop...don't ask me why?? Anyway, this is not a user-friendly program...jeeze!

Mantisory:

I tend to share some of your enthusiasm about Vista! I do however, find Vista a step ahead on other applications (ah, but those are business applications). It’s the “fun” applications that we’re all most interested in here….right!? Anyway, I do have XP on my PC, however, I really want to use my laptop with my music server. Therefore, I will try to soldier on with the “pile of cr*p.”

Are you aware of any good tutorials on EAC? Fellow Agon member, Kgturner provided me with a great link, but it really only touches on the basics of EAC.

By the way, I forgot to establish a catalog link to my hard drive, so the few CDs that I ripped last night are “filed” in the EAC database. How do I export those CDs to my hard drive?? I know it should be simple, but darned if I can figure it out!#$%^!^

I am using the latest EAC 99pb4 in Vista with no problems at all. Right click on the file, select "Run as Administrator"

After perusing the internet, I found this same approach recommended by others too. Indeed, by opening in administrative mode, I have no problems. So far, the CDs that I’ve ripped are cataloged in my external hard drive as individual song titles. Other software (e.g.: Win Media….) compile each “album” in nicely organized files. I'm wondering how the EAC compiled files will interact with my Squeezebox Duet (I haven't received it yet - should arrive today).
