EAC is the only thing holding me back, and I don’t trust it on a VM since it does some deep hardware voodoo.
It’ll probably live on its own machine I only use for that purpose.
Whats EAC again? I'm always eager to learn what possible show stoppers exist for people.
Exact Audio Copy
I own a lot of CDs.
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.
