Folks, anyone use the above software for ripping cd to flac ? I've been using it for all these time. Is EAC a better alternative?

I think pretty much everyone who is Windows-based uses either iTunes or EAC.

I've used it for a while. It was good. EAC is better.

I used to use EAC, but was having some problems. I tried dbpoweramp instead, and liked it so much that I bought it.

yup, I was going to say I think dbpoweramp is the way to go on winders

thanks guys.....

manaox - how much better actually ? I mean like clearly audible differences ripping using this and EAC ? I dont know about EAC really, just seems cannot get it work.....If it's much better then maybe I'll just bite my tongue and try to resolve my problems with EAC......

The only audible difference that I noticed was that it had less digital errors while ripping. I use EAC for my own security of mind now. There are a lot of great guides online on how to properly configure EAC for your CD drive.

thanks......guess im sticking with this for the time being......not worth the hassle......

Another vote for dbpoweramp. It is easy, rips with bit-perfect accuracy (if you want it to), comes with great transcoding tools, has good metadata tools and it will use multiple cores/processors.

Looks like my information is a little out of date -- I'd listen to everyone else before you listen to me. Hell, even I'm not going to listen to me -- I'm going to go out and investigate dbpoweramp -- is there a linux version?

I still use EAC. It is fairly easy to set up now, compared to older versions of itself. The setup wizard has really simplified things.
