Ha! I warned you that I did not recommend EAC. It works awesome once you have it set up but it's far, far from user friendly.

It will rip and it will encode at higher than 256 but you also need to download and install a copy of LAME, which is the MP3 compression engine.

Anyways, ignore EAC. As you have discovered, there are much easier methods.


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
