I can respect the paranoia around ensuring bit-accurate rips of CDs with little-if-any existing metadata on the web.
I remain suspicious of the cargo cult of EAC as doing something substantially different than cdrtools or anything else that knows the ins-and-outs of the redbook format
- devman0 4y agoCompletely understandable, EAC is certainly not the only software capable of using accurate stream features on CD drives or doing AccurateRip DB comparisons. Making bit-perfect archival rips is more about soundness of "the process" than the software you do it with, EAC is just one such tool.
- Nav_Panel 4y agoA lot of the emphasis on EAC is that robust automatic logfile validation tools exist for it (from what I can tell?), so it requires less manual inspection for archival. But I agree that other tools are likely equally capable.
