1. Despite having set up EAC as outlined on this forum, my ripped songs seem to have a .wav extension rather than a .flac extension. Is this right?

2. All ripped CD's are being downloaded to a folder on my HD. Each song is being saved individually. I would like EAC to create a folder for each album and put each song from that album into that folder. What setting needs to be changed for this to happen?

3. I'm using Media Monkey to download cover art. How do I get the cover art onto the folder for each album?

Thanks,

Typing from my blackberry so ignore typos.

You need to setup the FLAC conversion part of EAC. I cant paste you a link right now, but someone is sure to have it or goole for "EAC FLAC SETUP"

As for media monkey. Just rename the .jpg that it downloads to folder.jpg and then itll show up as your folder art when you view your directory in thumbnail mode.

Go check this thread again.  Specifically go down to that screen dump I did showing the "Compression options" menu for EAC.  Comfirm that you specified .FLAC in the "Use file extension:" box.

In leiu of starting a new thread I'll drop a new question in here...

Every once in a while I'll come across a track on a CD that EAC just refuses to copy.  On the "problem tracks" it'll give it a shot and then start showing the little red Error correction cubes and if there are too many (how many errors is unknown) it'll crap out and not make me a FLAC file.  Funny part is I can play that same track on my computer's drive or my home deck w/ no problems.  I suspect there are some physical issues w/ that spot on the disc(s), but during playback it just gets resolved as good a possible.  

Question... is there a setting in EAC where I can just tell it to do its best and make me the "best quality" output file (FLAC) that it can (instead of throughing up its arms and giving up)?

I am having problems with EAC saying there is too much information when I am burning a disc.  Only on ONE disc could that have been possible.  This happens during the burn process, so it not only produces a coaster, but also I can't eject the disc.  I have to reboot my computer to eject the dead disc.
Any suggestions, or ideas?

Bump!
Nobody is using Exact Audio Copy?  No one has had these problems?  A little help here, guys.

There are lots of people using it.  I've never seen that error.  I don't think a lot of people use EAC to burn disks though - most use to rip TO the PC.

Thanks for the feedback, Bryan.
I posted over at the forum at EAC as well, with no response.  I've used Nero, Roxio, etc, but tried Eac, since everyone was so ga ga about the FLAC ripping, and better quality.  But I have never had so many failures.  I thought it was maybe a corrupted download, but no...and then I thought it may be the firmware to my new Samsung writer, but I upgraded that and no...
So I'm kind of in a quandary on using it anymore, as I can't foretell if it will do it or not.  I've tried the "test methods" and they look fine, but when I try to burn, especially the opera folklorico of Argentina cd, bam! Toaster.
I'll fire off an email to Sheldon Stokes, who uses EAC, but he does the same thing you were saying, he rips it to a hard drive to access it through a Mac Air?(Transporter?) wireless to his system.
On another topic, a guy at diyaudio made a comparison to the Zhalou dac and the very expensive Remyo cd player.

I think Occam was and is using a mod version on this site

Hi Lyndon,

as mentioned by Bryan, EAC is really only popular for it's ripping capability, that is, pulling the files onto your Hard drvie for later playback via Foobar, squeezebox or whatever... if you really need to copy CD's (caveat - for audiophile purposes, I'm not so sure how it will sound...) then I'd be sticking to the software that came with your dvd/cd burner (e.g. roxio, nero or whatever).
