EAC question

Hi everyone. I'm back ripping CDs to FLAC after more than 13 yrs since my CD library has gotten bigger. I feel like I've forgotten how to do this. Right now I have it all set up but upon inserting a CD I do not see the track name nor the artist. It does show all the tracks but no metadata. Anyone with any idea as to what I didn't check or missed is greatly appreciated.

What program are you using to do the rips?  And are you using a Windows or a Mac or something else?

Oops—does EAC stand for Exact Audio Copy?  I use dbpoweramp so I didn’t catch that at first?
what happens if you try to rip using iTunes?  Does the meta data show up there?

 You have to set EAC to freedb in settings. I think you also have to enter an email address. I have always put a fake email address.

  Another nice free tool is Cuetools. It does so many useful things like converting file types. It can also check your old rips against the Accurip database to make sure they are bit perfect.
