Exact Audio Copy
I own a lot of CDs.
I used to use EAC but recently switched to fre:ac because it works on Linux. Maybe there's some features from EAC that are missing, but this could be an alternative if you're interested in exploring it. I also rip and store on Jellyfin, and I've not noticed any problems w/ my FLACs.
Oh interesting! What do you use for that and what is the result? Flac or other?
Yeah, FLAC. EAC has numerous checks to make sure the rip was flawless. I then either listen from my computer on speakers attached to a stereo, or I stream via Plex/Jellyfin. I have wired and wireless headphones and earbuds I use depending on what I’m doing when listening.
I already had lots of CDs before streaming was a thing, but still (more often than I’d expect) I come across albums that aren’t on any streaming platform.
Linux can rip FLACs, did you have any issues?
It’s the robust and verifiable logging I can’t give up. It’s an addiction.
I just recode it back into wav and md5sum it.
