Exact Audio Copy - who's used it?

There are a couple things that I'm trying to do in this app that I'm having a bit of trouble with. It's a pre-release, so there's no documentation yet, and the guides I have found on the web don't detail this (or I've yet to see it)
First, I know it's possible to rip a CD as one track, but I can't find out how. I thought it was by clicking "Action > Create CUE Sheet > Single WAV file...", but that just makes the CUE sheet, while I thought it would create a CUE sheet AND rip to a single WAV file.
Second, I figured out how tp rip as MP3 with the LAME encoder, but I want to rip the one single track as an MP3. I guess when I figure out how to do that, I'll learn how to do this simultaneously. Also, I know that I could join the tracks with HJSplit, but doing that in the past has created problematic ID3 tags, so I would rather rip it as one track.
I also know that I can always encode it after I rip it as a WAV, using RazorLame, but if there's a way to do it, I'm going to freakin find it.
I have other apps that will rip to MP3, but I am virtually hooked on the pristine quality that EAC delivers, with the on-the-fly error correction it provides.
Thanks guys... :thepirate |

Action -> Create Image & CUEsheet -> Uncompressed.
I swear by this program for my lossless archival. Hydrogenaudio.org
oink.me.uk |

Would that rip it as WAV? If so, how would I rip it as MP3?
I don't really need a CUE sheet, but if that's the only way, it's no big deal.
And thanks for replying! |

If you have EAC set up right (have it pointing to where your LAME is, just choose Compressed at the last option...and fix the ID3 tag afterwards. |

Alright, EAC is pointing to the proper lcoation where lmae.exe is lcoated, and I ripped it as one single track.
However, I selected "Compressed...", and there were no errors. It even said "Compress with external program" or whatever in the status log, but it's still saved as a single WAV file.
I'm going to encode this one myself, but I have a couple more to do and I'd like to figure this out. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks again :thepirate |
