CD Ripping software

When I ripped my MFSL and DCC discs a couple of years ago, almost all where in the accurp database. As I remember most had around 8 or 10 matches. I have about a hundred MFSL discs and I don't remember there being any that didn't have at least a few matches.

I don't have that many Japanese disc so I can say how many matches there might be. But accurip information is collected from around the world. And there are a lot of Audiophiles in Japan.

I always considered EAC to be pretty straight forward. Once it is set up. All you have to do is choose select all then test and copy. But I am a bit of a computer geek.

Upon further familiarization it appears the program I mentioned is only for creating, recording, editing and turning analog signals into digital ones.

But mapman is [i]not[/i] right about EAC being "old and unsupported". The last release was a couple weeks ago. There's a well-trafficked support forum. Why give out misinformation like that when it takes a few seconds to check the website?

@Lostbears

It's going to depend on what you're ripping. If you ripping more popular music, of course more of it is going to be in the AccurateRip database.

I'm not sure why you are insisting on WAV

If closest to original audio quality is required, WAV is a must. For convenience, any lossless will do. My favorite is APE or WMA. The latter is FBR, so it sounds best, IMO.

No it's not a must. A FLAC file has the same data. It's like saying you must leave your Word files unzipped if you want the best textual quality.
