Chess - DB Poweramp uses EAC. It's just a lot simpler to use and has a whole lot more options. For one, it has a "multi decoder" option you can select that will rip the CD and convert the ripped files to any other format, and dump both in to their own respective folders; all at the same time. Very handy if you want to keep two folders with the different formats. Works for me, as I play the FLAC files through my home systems, and the MP3's for the vehicles. DB Poweramp also collects album art, and meta data from various internet based tagging sources.
I'm fighting with iTunes, again. I effin hate iTunes....
Is there another music player that is compatible with iPods??
So I thought converting the FLAC files to MP3, and forcing the converter to use constant bit rate was the best option with respect to quality. Well it might just be the highest quality MP3 format, but it doesn't compress it a whole lot more than FLAC. The folder that contains all my FLAC files is 357 GB. The folder containing the newly converted MP3 files is 125 GB. I might have to rethink this strategy...
